Thing 12

Google Is Not Just For Searching Anymore:
I choose google alerts and google translate.  Google alerts sends you updates through your email on topics of your choice.  I choose to be alerted on any breaking weather events and any educational news.  I like google alerts because you can just check your email and see if there are any new articles, pictures, or new news stories.  The second google tool I choose to explore was google translate.  This is an awesome tool.  I know as a future educator there is a great chance that some of my students will be from non-english speaking families.  This is a great tool to communicate with their families.  You type in what you want to translate, pick the language you need, and it generates the translation right there for you.  There is also a speak button that will read the translation for you.  This would be great for parent teacher conferences.
