The above link is to the page I used in Google Translate to translate a couple of sentences about this class.  I really like Google Translate because it helps me to better understand another culture, Spanish inparticularly. In America today, Spanish is used almost as often as English.  I find it important to learn and understand.  I am taking a Spanish class right now, and although it is very difficult for me to grasp, I am trying because I want to know it so badly.

The link I posted above is my IGoogle. I love this because I can make it how I want it, and it has so many things to choose from to have on my page.  I like to know the weather, it is on there. I like humor, they give me jokes. It is just really fun.  I would definetely encourage my students to use this because it would help them to stay interested with lessons because they could put things on their page that they like, we would get good technology time in, and it is fun! Even though I will be teaching highschool English, I think even older children would like something like this. I know I do!
