I don’t know about you but I know that for myself the “real” New Year is not on January 1st – it falls on the day after Labour Day when the “school year starts. This is the time of year when I try to get organized and make resolutions about staying organized… one of the things I want to organize is the flow of information… I am planning to make better use of Google Alerts – a great way to stay up to date on subjects and events… and here is a very good, easy to follow Tutorial for creating a Google Alert for Teaching and Research
You could also check out Google for Educators – where you’ll find good information on all sorts of Google tools for teachers… And last, but not least – take another look at our recent post on How To Use the Google Calendar
