Thing 12

I use Google about as much as I bathe.  I am constantly using Google for research, random questions, and since I do not like adding pages to my home page, I go to Google to shortcut it.  The two tools that I decided to use were google translate and google calender.  With the google translate, I am kind of disappointed I did not know about it sooner.  This would have been a great tool in high school while learning Spanish.  It is a great tool that if I have students or parents where English is not there first language, this tool WILL be extremely useful.  Also, if students are not clicking with a foreign language, this website would be beneficial for practicing. 

I am new to the google calender, but I am all for it now that I am signed up.  I created an account and typed in something just to see how it works.  This can be useful for educators in maintaining organization rather than a bunch of post-it notes with important dates.  If anyone is like me, I have a paper calender with post-it notes on almost everyday.  The calender can be created and posted within a blog for students and parents to easily access.  The teacher could provide important dates that are within that month and due dates for assignments as well.  I am considering converting my paper calender into this google calender.  Less writing and more typing, yes please!!!
