I thought already thought that Google had a lot to offer and that was before I drove further into to. The alert option I think is great, because it can save you from having to look at 40 different news site to find an article on your subject, by using the alert feature Google does the work for you and delivers it straight to you email. I chose to make an iGoogle page and I thin it's kind of a cool thing. I was able to customize it so it displays information about the things that I am interested in. Both of these features would work great you educators. Teachers could use the alert feature to have current articles sent to them on new teaching strategies, their content area, or anything that they feel would benefit them. The iGoogle page is great because a teacher could create one and post news links, you tube videos, and anything else that they feel would assist their students in learning. So in closing thank you Google I look forward to the day that you can clean my house for me.
My iGoogle Page
I liked the alert option as well. What would be really cool is if you could link your alert right to your iGoogle page, then BAM, all there in one place right at your fingertips!
ReplyDeleteI too loved the iGoogle page. I loved the fact that you can create a page that caters to your individual likes and needs.
