Thing 12

Google is an amazing tool for teachers and students and people in their everyday lives. Google is used constantly and is being used more and more all the time as it begins to expand from more than just a search engine. Now Google has several amazing features that people can easily use. My favorite is the calender. Now i can find out when that test was from my phone or my laptop or in the library. I write stuff on my calender at home all the time and then need that information when I'm at school or at work. Not to mention it saves me from having to buy a calender~! But all of the features are incredibly useful and students could use it to organize assignments and mark when tests are. Google translate was my best friend when I took French (didn't cheat, I promise :D ) but it was a great tool for double checking homework before I turned it in. With the internet connecting students with people all over the globe, it's really important that they have the ability to translate web pages and understand people from all over the world. Not to mention, it would be a fun assignment to have students write a poem then translate it and discuss how the different language changes how the poem feels to people who don't understand it or how it made them think of the poem differently.
