Thing #21

Other parts of google...there is a lot out there. I played with google alerts and picasa web albums. Google alerts was kinda cool you just had to know what you were looking for and what you would want to have constant alerts about. It was nice to have the updates but then again hard to keep up with on a daily basis. It was cool to create more than one alert and then have them get updated all the time. Picasa web albums were fun to play with it was very similar to iPhoto. It was fun to play around and have them on the web for family to see the photos and creations. It was extremely easy to get used to creating the albums and slideshows. Google Earth was amazing especially to see the 3D views of pictures. I checked out volcanoes and it was very impressive. Alerts could be helpful for blogs and info on your content in the classroom. Picasa could be used by the kids to create photos and slideshows and have them on the web for all to view and comment on them. Google Earth could be used in lots of ways for the pictures especially in science and social studies...the pictures were phenomenal.
