Thing #12

I decided to create a "Google Alert" and an "iGoogle".  I thought these were pretty fitting since I like to know what's going on right when it happens.  I enjoy feeling like I found out the big news first.  I enjoyed making the iGoogle as well because it literally took about ten seconds to create, and then you had everything at a click of the mouse.  You could even access facebook through the iGoogle.  I decided not make both of those public, because I figure they are mine to look through, and my sites to visit because I chose them. 

This could be very useful as a tool when you are teaching.  Not only is the google alert system very neat, it could sens you notifications if there is a new news bulliten for your schools blog/page.  The iGoogle could also be made up for just your classroom.  I could pick what i want to update myself or the students on, on a daily basis.

Here are the links to both that I created.
