After being away on vacation, then taking a long time working on motivation and wishing for inspiration, I'm back to my blog. Just call me the Queen of Procrastination. It's not that I don't like the thingies on the 23 Things, it's just that I like lounging by the pool and watching movies better. I'm so behind on movies! Netflix I love you....
I really enjoyed exploring all the cool Google Tools. I've used Picasa and Google Earth before. I love the combination of Google Earth and Google Maps. It's fun to look at friends' and relatives' homes across the country. When I looked up my own address today, I still had Christmas decorations up! What a "red-neck woman!"
For something new, I thought about trying Google Alerts, but I'm afraid I'd always be stopping in the middle of lessons to check out the new feed (Procrastination Queen, remember), so I tried iGoogle. It was fun customizing my own Google homepage, and if I didn't already have such a cool website at school for students and parents to use, I'd consider trying out i Google.
Back to the pool....
Great job on investigating Google applications! There are so many and they are fun to use. They really lend themselves well to student research, too. Enjoy the pool!
