I explored Picasa Web albums and created a profile. It is a Google tool that runs through your google email account. You can create photo albums and share them with friends and family. You have the option of making yourself searchable by name as well. By clicking on the link you can create your own album. There are different categories you can fill out: about me, occupation, schooling, and much more. When putting up pictures you can tag people and put a caption under each picture. Comments are allowed or can be disabled under settings. Searching through other people's photos that are public are a good way to find images that you would like to upload to your computer. It reminds me very much of Flickr. I feel like Picasa Web albums can be used to share photos of your classroom and students with parents to keep them involved in their child's learning. It is also a good way to store photos because you get up to 4,000 photos with the free subscription.
In the Google Translate tool, you can translate any language to another language. By clicking on the link you can see that I chose to go from english to spanish. As you type, it will change the translation word by word. I found this really neat because you can go immediately to another language from the one you selected. I feel like this could be used as a teacher if you have a student that does not speak very much english. This can help you and the child communicate.
