Thing #7 - Google

I've had always used Google as my primary seach engine (ofcourse that was before I took Dr. Bishop's class and found out there are a zillion other search engines out there!), but I never realized Google had so much else to offer. I've been using the Google Advanced Seach feature and have found tons of great sources for my 2nd grade habitat project. It even has links to pre-made PowerPoint presentations - how cool is that? The other Google feature that I really like is Google Earth. My kids have enjoyed seeing our school from a "bird's eye view". Google Earth could have many applications for geography lessons, famous landmarks, or helping the teacher get directions to different school libraries for visiting!
