Thing #12 - Google is Not Just for Searching Anymore


Discovery Exercise:

    This was honestly a lot of fun!  I learned lots of new stuff and the best part of it all was that it was all so simple!!  I had no idea that pictures that were taken from my phone could get synched onto my Google page.  Well, of course, as Dr. Wall claims everything is addicting, this truly was!!  I actually set up an iGoogle for myself and then I was able to get into Picasa Web Albums.  I also made an album through Picasa using the pictures that I had taken on my phone!  I thought that was the coolest thing ever because I had no idea this whole time that pictures that I was taking were being saved through my google account.  I also wondered why my phone would tell me that I had uploaded another photo online.  I just thought they were talking about my pictures through my phone!  I feel as though I am becoming smarter through knowing all these awesome short cuts that Google has to offer!
    The icalendar was also such a great tool because it's so accessible and super easy to navigate.  I was able to put in reminders a lot easier than on my phone and now it will be able to send me emails when those dates are getting near!  I had so much fun exploring all what google has to offer and I am hoping that one day, I will be able to use the translator because I never knew that translating could be so easy! It's amazing what you can do online if you just learn how to!
