Thing #12

I explored Google Alerts and Google Translate.  I set up a Google Alert for news feeds for Toddler Development in the hopes of learning of the newest findings of what these amazing little people are capable of and how to expand and build on their previous knowledge to help them advance in development in the most efficient ways possible.  Google Translate is awesome too. I tried to find a translation for "What's up Chicka," but apparently all languages say it the same except the Spanish, who would say it as "Que pasa Chicka," which was interesting to me.  These Google Tools can be used efficiently in the classroom, for instance, Google Translate could be used to spark interest in the kids learning a new language and they could search for translations of  their favorite sayings of that time, or Google Alerts could be used to further educators professional developments by alerting them to the newest technology and developments available that could improve the educational world.

Care to know what this means and what language it is in: Qual è il tuo nome?
