Thing # 12

After playing with the Google tools, I have decided that I like Google Translate the best.  It seems to be a very easy and effective way to translate phrases that would get our students interested in learning more.  With Google Translate I can type in something like "Greetings!  Its good to meet you!" and I can instantly translate it in many other languages like "Saludos! Es bueno conocerte!" (in Spanish) or "Salutations! Il est bon de vous rencontrer!" (in French) and many, many more.  Google's Picasa was fun as well. Picasa seemed to be similar to Flickr, but I believe that I became more familiarized with Flickr, so Picasa wasn't as impressive.  Maybe I just need to keep playing with the programs to see which I like best.
