In the coming years I plan to be finished with my Administration certification and pursue an assistant principal position. When I get to that position, I don't want to forget several of the awesome tools and services that are available to teachers that can be adapted to being an administrator. The first order of business for a new administrator is to setup some Google Alerts.
With Google Alerts you can add in the search terms you are looking for, determine the source of alert you want (Everything, blogs, news, etc), determine how often you want to receive alerts (as it happens, daily, or weekly), and the volume of results (All results or just the best results). You then provide the email attached to your Google Account. You can see the image below of the menu options.
So how could administrators use Google Alerts? Here are several ideas:
1.) Get alerts for your school district
2.) Get alerts for your school
3.) Get alerts for your name in case it is in the news
4.) Get alerts for your school mascot/athletic teams
5.) Get alerts for your town/city/neighborhoods
6.) Get alerts for Central Office staff as well.
How would you use Google Alerts?
