Thing #12

The first one I chose was the Google Calendar.  I really like the it because I can put in everything that I have written on my calendar at home--birthdays, homework due dates, important school functions, etc--and I can sync it with my phone and have the notifications sent directly to my phone.  I think it would definitely be a great tool for teachers to use to help them keep organized and keep everything on track without having to keep up with a paper calendar or desk calendar. 

I also chose iGoogle, which I really liked.  You can have everything from the local weather/date/time to news links and any other topic you choose all on one homepage.  For mine, I have news topics, such as CNN and NY Times as well as entertainment and sports news and a recipe section so that I can get new recipes whenever I log in.  You can set a theme at the top so that you're not looking at the same boring image all the time.  It's basically everything all on one page.
