So many "cool tools" to choose from. Since I actually have time to explore I went through most of them on and off all day long yesterday. I have set up two Google Alerts. I am an elementary reading specialist and am always interested in learning what is being talked about in my field. I have already received some interesting information. I got the Google Calendar up and running and intend to share that with my family. I am doing a great deal of traveling this summer and that will be a good way for them to keep up with where I am. The Google Scholar is right up my alley. I like to be up with the current research in the field of reading, and my eyeballs hurt by the time I was done reading all the articles that came up. Also the advanced search already yielded some interesting power points which I have tried to list below:
www.ed.gov/parents/read/resources/guide/reading-parents.ppt
www.k8accesscenter.org/.../ThreeTierReadingProjectAccessPresentation4-27-06-handoutformat.ppt
And of course, Google Earth is amazing. I found the exact house we are staying in here in Macae, Brazil. The picture was from 2007, but it was still way cool. I still intend to check out igoogle.com soon, but I get overwhelmed with websites. I have one at school that I barely keep up with. I am planning to do a better job this next year.

Sounds like you have found some very useful stuff. One of our goals this next year is to improve our teacher web sites. We are going to work on that in the Aug. 6th workshop in the afternoon (if you are back home then!!)
