Thing #16

• I choose iGoogle, just because it was first on the list.  It was really neat and easy to use.  Just a few clicks and I was done.  I got to choose the things that interested me and that was all that appeared on the screen.  

• I looked at the Scrybe calendar.  It was really neat.  It is set up to where you can click into the calendar and it makes the events for that day bigger so that you can see the details of what you are doing.  You can schedule things and then drag and drop to place them in other places...easy!  You can check off things that you have completed as time goes along, and you can also export your calendar into other softwares.  Another great thing about Scrybe is that you can tie in your to do list to it and drag and drop reminders onto your calendar.  I liked this one better than the Google calendar - it seems much more detailed.
  
  
• I used ta-da-list to make a to do list.  It was a neat tool, but I could just jot a to do list down before logging into a computer to make one.  If this was up at work though, it could be useful: if I thought of something and then just clicked over to the list and added it in, maybe it would be helpful.  It could be used for the classroom possibly.  Teachers could create a to do list and mail it, or post it for the students and they could use it to work through a lengthy project or assignment.
  
  
• I like the calendar and to do lists for the classroom.  Students need to know what events are coming up for them and also what is expected of them and how to get their work completed over time.  These tools, if used properly, could be very helpful in the classroom!
