The first thing I looked at was Google Alerts. I like that you can choose how ofter you want to get emailed and how much info you want to receive. I see this being very helpful in a history classroom maybe. You could use this to get up to the minute current events to discuss in class. I could also use it in my classroom to get technology updates. We could use it as a bell ringer at the beginning of class.
The second thing I looked at was Picasa. This website is very similar to Flickr. I created an album in Picasa of Landry's newborn pictures. I could see using this in my class. My students could save their pictures for their assignments into albums there and have better access to them. Here's a link to my album:
I'm not sure if Picasa is available to students at school with the filter. We should make a list of the tools that work at school and share them.
