More About Google - Thing #11

I wanted to take a stab at Thing #6, the teacher portion of the calculator, but no page came up. So, I'll talk about what wonderful things I've learned about Google. First of all, last year I learned how helpful the "Domain" section of the Advanced Search page was. To be able to limit hits to .edu or .gov cut down on so much wading through junk. At the MEMO conference I learned about iGoogle and Google Docs. I LOVE both of these features. I've customized my Google homepage (iGoogle) so that it has a link to my Gmail, to the weather in St. Paul (and Chicago, where my daughter is going to college), a to-do list, a U tube link, a big clock with the time, a GREAT calendar where I can put my appts., etc., and consoldiate my personal and school calendars, a dictionary, a tab that leads to a whole page of librarian stuff.....I could go on and on. It's great.
Then, I used Google Docs to gather opinions of SPPS LMSs on how Destiny, our new library program, can be improved. So far 3 have responded. A glitch occurred when the original e-mail introducing the Google Doc project went into most people's spamjam. Marcia also created a Google Doc and is gathering info on another topic, and I contributed to it. Soooo exciting to be able to collaborate from a distance and create one document together. OK, the weather is too nice. I'm done blogging for today....
