One of the wonderful tools from Google that is often overlooked by students is Google Alert. I have been using it for a few years now and it has helped me a lot both in my graduate studies and also in my educational blogging.
Google Alert allows you to create alerts around topics you are interested in and start receiving emails with updates about your search query.
Here is how to create a Google Alert
Head over to Google Alert
1- provide a search query
2- Result type: choose whether you want to receive updates about your search query from news sites, blogs, books…etc or select everything to cover all these categories.
3-Choose the language of your query
4-Region: choose if you want updates about your topic only from materials published in specific regions
5- Select how often you want Google to send you updates about your alert: once a day, once a week, or as it happens.
6- Select whether you want only the best results or all results
7- provide the email you want Google to send you alerts to.
To delete an alert, just click on manage alert and tick the alert you created and then click on delete.
