Thing 4 - Google Tools

I signed up for Google Alerts. I am really interested in using book trailers this year in the library. This seems to be a hot topic in the library world so I would love to have any info. about them e-mailed to me. That way it will be in one area and I can go through them at one time. Right now I have to search a few different sites and I get lots of e-mails through LM_Net so to have the information come in one e-mail would really be helpful!

One of my favorite Google tools is Google Earth. I have used this in the library before and I can think of some books I want to use this year that would tie in really well using the views of the ocean. Don't forget about Google Lit Trips which already has the work done for you! What a great way to tie in geography in a way that kids will be more likely to remember.
