Thing #16: Get Organized with Web 2.0 Tool. Ok, how many of us don't need to get organized? If you raised your hand, please contact me so you can give me the wisdom you must possess! I am always "trying" to get organized yet I never seem to get there! The start page I chose was iGoogle. I liked this page because it was very easy for me to move around, arrange, and edit my content. I didn't choose to keep it as my homepage though since my Yahoo is similar. I love using the online calendars because I have calendars for everything from birthdays to homework! Calendars can also be used in the classroom to let parents know about upcoming events or even whose snack day it is. I played around with the "Remember the Milk" website. I chose it because it sounded cute. I had fun playing around but probably will forget to check it out and use it very much. For me the calendar tools are the way to go. I have a calendar I share with my family that shows the dates me and my children have off from school, family birthdays, and important events. This allows my family to see what's going on here at our house and decide when or if they can come up and join us for our activities! I think calendars also work well as classroom tools for the same reason.
