Thing # 12

Google is a great resource!  I have used it for year when searching for or sharing information.  Now, with thing #12, I know that it can be used for so much more.  I dove right into this project.  I am always looking for ways to stay more organized.  I work, go to school, and have two very active boys.  Google calendar allows me to organize our schedule and share them with grandparents.  No matter where I am, I can access the calendar to view or make changes.  I also set up and email to remind me the day before and text message me 2 hours before the event.  This technology will be a lifesaver for educators.  Google calendars will keep their busy schedules organized and keep them connected.  An educator could set up a class calendar that is shared with parents.  

I also set up a Google alert for topics that I found important.  I set up an alert for the town I work in, local news, and our local high school teams. An e-mail will be sent to inform me of news on the subjects I chose.
