Thing 16

iGoogle

I chose iGoogle as my homepages and I love it!  This homepage had so much to offer.  It was very easy to use and didn't take a lot of downloading time.  I definitely made this my homepage!

This is by far my favorite Thing yet!  I am a very organized person.  Having all of my information and webpages in one place is amazing.  My new laptop did not come with a downloaded calendar, which I deeply depended on with my old computer to remind me of important events.  Since I have signed up for Google Calendar, I now have that luxury back.  It sends me notices by email and by showing up on my iGoogle page.  I also added the app Sticky Notes.  My screen is covered in yellow sticky notes, so having an online system for these is much easier!  I also added the app for the To Do List.  I am the worlds most meticulous lister!  Everything NEEDS a list!  This app was apparently made especially for me.  A few more apps that I chose are Dictionary, Thesaurus, Breaking News, and This Day in History.  These and many more could be very beneficial to our students.  It's a daily learning process, which would be great for morning work and to discuss things special about that day.  I can't tell you which apps I would recommend, because I loved them all!  I had to stop looking at additional ones, because my page was going to be too full!  iGoogle is definitely something I would recommend!
