I explored with google alert and found it a fantastic way to get alerts on topics that I am interested in. I created an alert to my e-mail for PGA tour updates. I enjoy golf and find it refreshing that I will have the latest information at my fingertips without having to look for it myself.... See technology can be useful!
I also found google calendar very helpful and somewhat easy to use. I chose not to make my calendar public due to the fact that I don't like the idea of my schedule being open to the world to see. However, I can see where a group of teachers and parents could find this very useful. Instead of sending home calendars with each student, parents could access the daily schedule and keep up-to-date with upcoming events and field trips.
For now, I set my calendar up for the month of February with some important dates, but I stopped with just that month. https://www.google.com/calendar/render
The translator would be very helpful in class especially for your ESL students. I will definitely remember that tool and explore it more. I am sure it will come to my rescue in the future as an educator.
