Thing #16

I like all the conviences that the tools can give you.  The calendar could become really handy in communicating from principals to teachers, special education teachers to general ed teachers, and from teachers to teachers.  I chose to  make my homepage iGoogle.  I spiffed it up with a hangman game, art of the day, doppler radar, and a countdown clock to Christmas break.  I'm sure I'll keep that homepage because it is customized to me and makes my life easier.  I even added a TV guide to it!!  I find to-do lists helpful only in the physical form, real paper!!  I don't think I would use it on my computer for anything else.  If I was teaching older children, I might use it as a reminder for them about assignments, but with my early elementary students I would not utilize it much.  I really like the zamzar website for home and school.  I could see using it a lot!!
