Thing # 7 Cool Google Tools

I discovered a whole new world of fun by customizing my iGoogle homepage with You Tube, news feeds, gadgets and Google calendar. It will be great to have all this information at the click of a mouse. I also set up several alerts for NCLB happenings, as well as any new YA Sci-Fi and mystery books approaching the stands. I would like to set up a shared document with fellow colleagues, listing their interesting classroom books. With a sudden interest in the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld and the Rick Riordan Lightning Thief series, many students from other classes would borrow my books for S.S.R. Between Stephanie Meyer's Twilight
series and The Battle of the Labyrinth, I had a waiting list going!
