Thing 12

I have always used Google to search, but I had no idea they had all these other free features. I had trouble getting the picture application open because my cookies weren't enabled and I could not figure out how to enable them on my personal computer. I was able to explore the rest of the features and successfully set up a iGoogle account. http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en. It only took about 30 seconds and I  was also able to set up a Google Calendar, https://www.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1, so far I only have this week put in, but I am really excited about this feature. I also have a student planner, but I have to carry it around with me and remember to write everything down. I like the fact that I have access to the Google Calendar anywhere there is internet access. I was also able to link a TO-DO list to my iGoogle page through gadgets. There are many fun gadgets to explore. This could be very beneficial to educators, organization is a teachers best friend, and being able to access your calender (which can be used daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly) with a few strokes on a computer is a very helpful tool. There are several topics available including, entertainment, financial, politics, communication, and tools. All of these can be used while furthering education, as well as in my future career.
