My wonderful colleague, Gail, just told me about a great Google workshop she attended and shared with me the wealth of Google knowledge she learned, all contained on one little handout titled "The Google Universe." It has so many good tips and quips I felt compelled to add several of the points to my Teacher Tools and Smart Search webpages, and to add the presenter's blog to my Helpful Blogs Urban Planet webpage. It's a website & blog called the Infinite Thinking Machine and can be found at http://www.infinitethinking.org/. From the "About" section of the ITM site: "ITM is designed to help teachers and students thrive in the 21st century. Through an active blog, an Internet TV show, and other media resources, the ITM shares a 'bazillion practical ideas' for turning the infinite universe of information into knowledge. We showcase examples of innovative instructional methods, talk with leading experts, and share real stories from the classroom to improve how we think, learn, teach, and live. And we try to have a little fun along the way."

I was saving this blog entry of yours to explore when I had a little time, which finally happened this morning. It's great! Love the Infinite Thinking Machine blog, and also the Google info. I'll pass the info along, and when I get sophisticated enough I'll add a blog link to my home page, too. -Janet
