Thing #12

I am a frequent user of the tools Google has to offer. Especially the translator, email and now the blog. I decided to explore the photo album and calender tools of Google for this project. The calender was fairly simple to figure out in terms of uploading images. The photo album had already saved photos that I have posted in this blog and previous ones! I love the layout of the calender! I set it to email me a reminder for each event whether it be an exam this week or work!

Possible Educational Uses?

The calender would be the most useful! I could easily use it to teach organization skills to the students. It's a planner they would never loose. I would have the students put in their assignment due dates in the calender, that way an email would be sent to them as a reminder.

For the photo album, the students could use it to store photos they found online relating to a research project or a presentation. There are endless possibilities for these tools! I look forward to using them in my classroom!
