Thing 12

         The first google tool I decided to discover further was the google translator because I usually need one around to help translate text from various languages.  I used a piece of poetry I wrote myself to translate into several different languages.  I discovered there is a turn on instant translation option I clicked on to turn it off and then back on.  I can use it in my searches, emails, videos, phone, chat and business.  Teachers can use this tool to communicate with parents that speak a different language, to translate a document into a different language and to search for material in a students language they can understand. 
      The second goolge tool I decided to discover further was the google alert because I rarely check the news because of how busy I am.  I typed in  a search term and the type of search term.  Next, I chose how often to they email me and I picked once a day.  Finally, I chose the volume which means which type of results and wher they deliever it.  I also, added and deleted one search term by checking a box to the left of search terms.  I added the search term before deleting it by clicking the add search terms button.  I can also cancel, save the search terms, or export the search terms. Teachers can use this to set up their schedule in the classroom throughout the day to help them with time management, to schedule meetings, have a list of when class presentations or projects are due.  Also, to remeind them when to send out newsletters, progress reports, or other important documents to the parents.
