Google Alerts!

In week 2 of 520, one of the things we focused on was Google Alerts. It's awesome! I have never used it before and didn't know it existed. What a wonderful tool to use to keep up on topics that are important to you! While discussion boards and listservs are valuable resources to have in the teaching world, sometimes it is helpful to have tool like Google Alerts to tell you when something new has been put onto the Internet. I teach about so many different topics and it is very difficult to stay on top of everything that is changing in those areas. Google Alerts would allow me to do this. I see myself using this a lot for my classroom.
