Thing #21: Cool Tools GOOGLE Has to Offer

I was amazed at all the different ways Google is used such as: IGoogle, Google Calendar, Google Book Search, Google Alerts, Google Sites, etc. It was so Awesome checking these all out. I could spend many hours on all these Googles. I am a little familiar with Google alerts because I get alerts about ARD's that are scheduled at my school with different students. I also have set up an iGoogle, but I am not finished with it. Setting up a Countdown was neat to see and I am still trying to learn everything else that can be added to it. The Google Books was also fun to look at because again I was just amazed at all the books I could search for and so much information to offer.
I also believe the Google Calendar could benefit at school because students, teachers and family members could look at a monthly calendar and know what is scheduled each week whether it be for testing, games, fund-raising, field trips, etc. This would be very helpful especially because kids do not seem to take important notes home to parents.
