Students and teachers could both use occasional refresher courses in becoming more efficient Googlers. The world's favorite search engine also offers activities and services we can use in the classroom.
A Google A Day - a daily challenge from Google to solve problems using the suite of Google tools available to users.
Google Feud - just like family feud, try to guess the popularity of how Google would autocomplete searches. Use with caution, not all Google searches are age appropriate for your audience, but it will definitely trigger discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Google Alerts - set one up to follow specific topics: yourself, political items, current events, recipes - whatever you want to keep tabs on. Google can send you a weekly email as the chosen topic(s) hit the web.
Santa Tracker - this most awesome Google gift is locked in ice until next December, but you'll want to keep it handy for that month leading up to Christmas break. Daily activities in coding, programming, problem solving, the arts, and general educational fun.
