I choose Google calendar and Google translate as my two Google tools.
Calendar I choose Google calendar because I am always having trouble with parents or students who do not understand the due dates for assignments. By creating a calendar and updating when assignments are due, the end of grading periods, etc; I can cut down on the confusion. I would have to communicate this at the beginning of the year, but I really believe this would work.
Translate I have heard of Google translate and I even have the app on my cell phone. I haven't had a ELL student in 3 years, but this is a tool that would be of great help to such a student. I can translate assignments into the student's own language. Parent communication would be much easier. I could even use it to teach my students about the five Romance languages (Romanian, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese).
