Thing 12: Google it!

Oh, how I love google!!! I use it for pretty much everything. The two tools I found most useful are google translator and google alert. Google translator would be significantly important to me as an educator. If I end up teaching theatre at a high school level I may have plays with foreign phrases in it. I will not only need to know what is being said, but I will also have to know how to pronounce what is being said. Google alert is important for keeping up with notifications from blogs and the news! I can be in touch with everything going around me. Sometimes it feels like I am so caught up in everything that I do not know what is even going on where I live. It will be a great way to make sure my students are aware of what is going on as well. A big part of theatre is knowing what is going on in society. It will encourage my students to use google as more than just a search engine!
