Thing # 12

My Photos and my Alerts.  I think that my photos are public, but I am not quite sure about my alerts. 

I liked my experience with setting up my alerts.  I chose to be alerted once a week whenever something new is mentioned about Hillsdale College, where I received my undergrad degree.  I don't think I can actually share it like I said before, but I like getting the notifications.  I also like that I can change what types of notifications I receive and how often I get them.  It's very useful and allows for a quick browse through if I want.  This could be used in education if a teacher sets up an alert for new education trends, alerts about their school, or set it up in a way where they could alert their student.

My photo experience was okay.  It was easy to drag new photos in and apparently it was already set up when I added new pictures to previous posts.  Those were all already in my Google Photos.  I think that this could be used in education to take pictures in the classroom and sharing it with parents in a closed group.  Parents like seeing pictures of their children learning and having a good time.  This could also be used in an assignment as well.  Students could add pictures into an album based on what the teacher asks.
