Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?
I chose iGoogle because I use Google Chrome browser and have always been a fan of other Google applications. I liked that it was pre linked to let me view my Google inbox and had the options of linking to Facebook and CNN news. I will not make it as my permanent homepage because I use a family computer. I would use it as a homepage on a work computer due to the amount of related gadgets that would be useful as a teacher.
How can the online calendars be useful to you? Online calendars are useful because they can be accessed anywhere including using your smartphone. They can also be viewed by groups of people if unnecessary.
What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…? Very helpful for me because seeing what I need to do helps me properly manage time. I am also extremely forgetful and having a to-do list that is easily accessible is helpful.
Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at the school or at home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others? There were many tools that could be useful but I currently use a iPhone app/web page that is very handy and I did not see listed I would like to share. This app is called Cozi and is a family planner/organizer that is online and available as a smartphone app. It has a family calendar with text notifications and a family to-do list which includes a shopping list. I can not count the times I have been grocery shopping and had my wife add things to the list as I was looking at it. No more going back to the store because the call would not go through.
