Thing 12

I am guilty of using Google for everything! Anytime I am unsure of something, I "Google" it. I use Google as a verb on a weekly basis. I used Google Calendar to make a calendar with my quiz dates, homework, anniversary, etc. It is VERY easy to use. You simply click on the day of the event, type in what the event is, edit the time, maybe even the color, and save. It reminds you through email. I thought this would be very helpful when I become a teacher. Teachers could make their calendar, with the syllabus included on the days, and then make it public for all of their students to see. It is easy to access and very easy to read. I obviously did not add all of my important dates, but I did get the month of February on mine. Here it is. .

I also used Picasa Web Albums. Being that it is Valentine's day, I was in the mood to show off some pictures of me and my sweet fiance. It was very easy to upload the pictures. Also, I had the choice to choose whether to make it private, public to the web, or public to only people who have the link. I chose "public to only people who have the link" Here is mine...

I thought that this would be a great website for special education teachers. A lot of times parents of special needs children like to stay updated on how their kid is progressing in therapy, classroom activities, and classwork during the school day. It would be great if I, as a teacher, would have time to take a few snap shots of the children, upload them to this website, and only provide the parents with the link. I think it could be very useful. :)
