Do you know anyone that has never used google? People that are not computer illiterate do not count. Google is the largest and most well known website to turn to when a question is needed to be answered. Just the other day I asked a random question, the response I got was "to google it". google-ing has become a word that people use to describe the action that they are finding out an answer or a way to do something, or just bored and need something to occupy their minds. I am a member of Google email louisa.p.murray@gmail.com I use this email to forward my apsu.edu email things as well as important things I choose to sign up for. Since being a member I have now learned about the Google Docs part in which I can save important presentations and pull them up on any computer anywhere! As for fun I decided to add a history paper of mine, a family photo in AMELIA ISLAND 2009, and a photo of Sophia Loren who is an idol of mine. Now I can easily go to school, the library, local bar (kidding) but basically anywhere with internet access and pull up this three things. I can also share them on the internet so I choose to share them with my mother.
I am also signed up with the Google Calender in which I can sync my Ipod with it and while I am walking to the mall or mailbox I can be notified of an upcoming event. Having the calender also sends me email notifications and my mother or friends can upload their calenders to mine so we can all share important dates together and set up says to spend with each other!
For the Calender I can link to my students and students parents emails or calenders to inform them about upcoming homework, holidays, projects, and much much more. Not only can you share the Google calender but you can also share the Google docs so that parents can have access to any learning worksheets or information the student is given during class. Children lose everything so this would be a good tool for everyone so that there is no way they can lo the important material!! Everyone can now be involved in the students success and learning with the class room!!!
The one negative thing I did find was that I tried to sign up for the Google notebook and it informed me that it is no longer being supported and I must go through the Google docs. Now this could be negative on Google's part as well as the APSU 23 things for leading people to the Google Notebook site when it is no longer in use.

I'm glad you ran across us too! If your bridesmaids are too busy to go shopping for dresses, I can suggest a couple of things. I left a response on our blog after your comment. Good luck on your school project!
