SiXTEEN

I chose to do the iGoogle homepage. I thought the sample page was cute and all the different applications to use/choose form also attracted me to this. I will not make this my homepage because I would probably never get any school work done again :) The online calendars could be useful for classroom calendars. The students could look online or at a printed copy in the room of the classroom calendar to know when tests, activities, and schedule changes will occur. I do not like the to do lists. I carry a paper planner with me. I like doing one thing on my list and erasing it out of my planner and then adding another thing. Online, it seems that I want to babble on a to do list rather than write what actually needs to get done. I like the calendar tool, as mentioned before. It could be used in the classroom or even at home. For a family with children the parents could add events like "Family Dinner" so that the children know that there is to be no social plans made for that time block. Also, if family vacations are being planned, them being on a calendar for everyone to see would provide everyone with a reminder of when they need to ask off work, or be caught up (or ahead) on school work to be able to take the time off. I would recommend the iGoogle homepage because it is so custom to YOU. Everything that you like to surf on the net is available in one place. However, I think, as said before, that this wonderful application would prevent me from doing as much school work :) I am easily distracted.
