Google Translate
I inserted the first paragraph of Book I from Homer's The Odyssey into Google Translate. I added it into English to translate into Greek. This tool allowed me to hear, a close to, version of what it might sound like to hear in Greek. The Odyssey would have been an Oral Tradition in Greece, not written for many generations. This tool could also be used by teachers for students where English is a second language.
Google Calendar
I inserted a schedule that I would go off of for the following week. Google Calendar could be used be teachers and schools that do not have the budget to have an active website. Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, etc. could be used to allow all the students access to timelines, assignment due dates, etc.
