Thing #12

   I chose to create a Google Calendar. The setup for the calendar was very easy to do and included step-by-step instructions. Once I got started, I was able to organize my events/activities for the next month. The calendar is a good way to stay organized and on top of things that need to be done. You can even sync your calendar with your phone so it is always available. With notifications sent an hour or two before your scheduled event, you should never be late again! This is also a good way to stay organized in the classroom. You can list project due dates on your calendar, or set reminders for students' birthdays.
    I really liked the Google Translator. It was so simple to type in what you wanted to say and have it pop up next to it in a different language. It really takes the guesswork out of translating grammar rules in different languages. This would definitely come in handy in a classroom if you had students whose first language was not English.
