Thing #12

Google search is obviously one of the most popular websites in the history of the internet.  Search isn't the only thing that Google is good for though.  Google translate is also a very good tool that Google has came up with.  I personally have used it a lot since I am trying to learn German.  It helps a lot to check my work and make sure I am saying and writing it correctly.  Another Google tool that I enjoyed was Google Alerts.  This notifies you as soon as news updates happen.  This is a great way of getting news to you as soon as possible.  This would also give you a chance to show your students the new news updates daily for a starter of the day.  These are great tools for the classroom!
