This 'thing' was very exciting for me. I am constantly trying to discover ways to become more organized, and I am one of those people who gets excited about planners and sticky notes. When I saw that the first part of the project was to develop a personalized homepage, I admit I was filled with a bit of pride, because I already use one! I use iGoogle right now! It is my homepage and it includes links to my email, facebook, shows a specific blog that I read everyday and shows the news. Also, due to my obsession with Harry Potter there is a part that gives me a new quote each day from the books :) I also already use google calendar. I started using it when I worked for a gymnastics business for keeping track of when I needed to find subs for the coaches, but now I use it to keep track of assignments that are due in my online classes. It is very easy to use, because I can color code each class when I put it into my calendar, and I have also programmed it to send a reminder on my phone 2 days before I have something due. I explored a few of the sites to include Ta Da, and they all seemed pretty simple to use, but I did not think that they would be very helpful to me. I admit that I am old-fashione, and I am not quite ready to make the leap from paper sticky notes in my planner to sticky notes online!
