Thing #12

Well I have always loved googling and this discovery exercise has given me another way feed my habit through Google Alerts.  I set up three initial alerts that will hopefully help me with the many term papers I'll be writing this semester.  The queries I created were "emotional intelligence", "autism", and "movement therapy." I set the alerts to notify me once a day with any type of information that pops up regarding these topics - news, blogs, updates, videos, and discussions. Fingers crossed, this will greatly assist my researching efforts! If it does I'll be sharing this tip with all the high schoolers and college students I know.

Picasa albums are wonderful! They are my main source for sharing photos.  I love that I can easily upload from the Picasa albums on my computer and I can subscribe to other users so I receive notifications when new pics are posted.  Here is a link to my skydiving album.  There are a bunch of pics so if you click fast enough it almost looks like a video, haha!

Another great feature of Picasa albums is how seamlessly and simply they integrate with Blogger.  Using Picasa to organize class pics would make updating a class blog even easier.
