Thing 12

Above is link to I Google Account
I cannot believe how much faster it is than 3 year ago. It has more gadgets which lets me personalize it over the year as things as football,golf and basketball come into season,  Allows be to add gadgets based on where the news anywhere in the world that interest me is breaking.  My family travels a lot so i can download gadgets of their destinations.
The Bookmark feature is good I can access my bookmarks thru I Google on any computer.

I can get daily on my computer or phone on topics I choose
It allows me to follow favorite sports figures without being on a social site like Twitter.
I can set the parameters of the searches I read on one site this is great to prevent plagiarism or copying photos.

In the school the students would be able to access immediate info on almost any topic they choose without a lot of clutter and ads'  Its very quick and to the point. By setting the parameters we can control when and how much info they can get.  I can see a group doing a project using this as input just too get the last bit of info or a jump start, if they are stuck on a particular topic.
