So I love these features! I can have anything in the world delievered to my email and translate anything in the world. This is so much fun! I made alerts for some of my favorite TV series and people. Then I used Google Translate to translate English to French. In high school, I took French and I loved it. So now I can get back in the hang of things for my trip to Paris one day.
In school, teachers can use this to keep track of recent news that goes along with their lesson plans or unit plans. They could also use the calendar to help keep track of things to do in the class. They could use the translator to help students learn different languages. There are many different uses.

Thing #11
So....I guess this answered my confusion on Thing #10! I have found some really cool RSS feeds! My main interest was The Biggest Loser. I know that sounds really weird, but I have my reasons. One of my friends is participating in the show with her sister. If you watch the show then you could probably guess I'm talking about Hannah and Olivia. Well I know Hannah, and I am trying to subscribe to feeds where I can keep up with her success. I have meetings on Tuesday nights so I am unable to watch the show. I love Hulu.com and now with the help of these feeds I can continue keeping track!
Anyways, I really liked Technorati.com the best. It was the easiest to use and had many different topics. Trying to use Google Reader was the most difficult, but now I don't have to! I found so many feeds and I would have to take a day just to sit down and add them all and browse through everything. So you should try this if you are new!

Thing #10
So I just finished researching RSS feeds. I thought it would be easy at first, but I found it to be a little difficult. It wasn't adding RSS feeds that was difficult, it was browsing for them. I like the idea of everthing being in one location instead of making bookmarks to different websites or blogs, but once again looking for the different things you are interested in is hard.
In my personal life, I would probably use this so that I could "bookmark" everything that I found interesting so that I could refer to these websites for help on certain topics. This could help me with a more healthy diet, learning home improvement tips, and so much more. In the classroom, I could use it to stay updated with the lastest education news.
Teachers could use this to help them keep all their important information that they would want to use in the classroom in one location. It would be handy for that. It could also be used as a daily "bell ringer" for students. The teacher could subscribe to an RSS feed that would help the children develop their own thoughts or writing prompts.
