Thing #16

• I decided to visit my iGoogle account again for this project, and it is my favorite to use because it incorporates extremely convenient displays that range from calendars, weather, news postings, games, and much more! The site is also educational because it provides gadgets such as "word of the day" that strengthens vocabulary and "this day in history" that provides historical facts. I might consider using this as my permanent home page.
• Once again, I turned to Google for creating a calendar because I already have an account and some of the other sites seemed confusing to me. Online calendars can be useful because they are easily accessible wherever you are, and you don't have to worry about forgetting it at home! Teachers can not only have an account for personal use, but they can also create and share an account with their students who can access it at home. Parents can also view the calendar and keep tabs on their child's homework. Online calendars have many different functions and are easy to use.
• Finally, I used the Remember the Milk website to create my online to-do list. I decided to use this website not just because of it's simple and attractive layout, but also because of the iPhone App! I can create my list online and send it to my phone for when I'm on the go - so useful! Right now I am planning my wedding for this summer, so this tool will definitely come in handy! I can set reminders, send and share tasks, and prioritize my lists. Overall, this online tool is tremendously helpful and can be applied to school life and personal life!
