Thing #16

• Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page? I decided to use igoogle to create my start page with. I added several gadgets to play around with like the weather gadget.

• How can the online calendars be useful to you?
  Online calenders can be helpful if you use your computer a lot and find it easier to see your calender as soon as you open up your Internet browser.

• What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…? I did not like the to do lists. I like to use pencil and paper and make out my lists. I have a laptop that I use for homework and things that require me to use my computer but i do not like to have to use it everyday and just find it must easier to carry around my list on a post it  note. if someone is attached to their computer this may be useful for them.
  
• 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? I do like the weather gadget and there are many others that are fun and interesting for people. I just would not recommend this for anyone who does not plan to get on their computer everyday. To me it is a lot of unnecessary work.
