Thing #16 (Ahhh!)

• Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page? 
• I chose iGoogle as my home page because it is colorful and very personal as in that it is exactly what I want it to be. It doesn't give me updates on sports because I don't want that. It does give me my weather updates, National news, and movies, etc. I will not make it my permanent homepage because I rather have Yahoo as my homepage where I can go directly to the email I use the most.

• How can the online calendars be useful to you? 
• Online calendar through MSN/Hotmail is very helpful in categorizing and showing me visually what is coming up and what is planned just by automatically syncing with my MSN/Hotmail email account (Which I use for APSU email)
 

• What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…?
• The to-do lists are only helpful to me if I have a mobile device with web access to this stuff at all times. Other wise I would have to get on my computer everytime I think of something new to add to the list, and if I am nowhere near the computer, that would just be a hassle. I would end up using paper instead anyways.
 

• 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? The only tool I found to be of use was the calendar that I can check on my computer but if I did have that mobile device with 24/7 web access , it would be handy!
