Google Is No Longer Just A Search Engine

     Google is no longer just a search engine. You can just do about anything with google. There is google scholar, drive, calendar, google plus, and so much more. With the advancement of google, you can do just about anything with it. I honestly think that there is no other search engines that compares with Google. 

      One of the products that I played around with was google translate. Google translate is pretty awesome. It will convert any language you want into any other language. I chose to translate a quote from english to Italian. Why? Because I can and I thought it was cool. You can also get it to read aloud the sentence so you can learn pronunciation. This is a good tool that could be used in the classroom in foreign language classes or for personal use!

     Another great tool that I explored was Google Calendar! This is a online planner that can be accessed from anywhere at anytime. You can also sync calendar events from your phone to google calendar and it will send you a email or a reminder whenever you want to. So it is like your very own personal assistant. This will be good for anyone (including teachers) to make sure you know when things are due and when you are suppose to be somewhere at whatever time. You can also share this will co-workers or parents if you wanted to get them involved more with students and the classroom! I really liked this feature and plan on using it more!

This gives you a little idea of what it looks like.
