Thing #12

Just like almost everyone else, I am very guilty of using google search for anything and everything. Other than google search, the only other thing I have used in google is google maps, which i use on my phone everytime I travel. Everything else however is very new to me. The first thing I played with and created in google was google calendar. I am very ocd and have tons of organizers and planners, so the google calendar was actually very useful for me. I also found it very easy to use. You just click on the day and write your reminder and the time. The google calendar is also great because you can set it up to alert on your phone as a reminder as well. The google calendar will be very helpful for me as a teacher because I can post all important dates and homework assignents that the students and parents will need for the year, and send them the link that they can pull up and look at any time. Here is the link to my calendar for the month of march! https://www.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1

The second tool I created was an igoogle page. This was also really easy to do and I really had fun doing it. I love how you can personalize the page the way you want using the add gadgets button.  A few things I added was daily horoscopes, quote of the day, and my personalized google calendar. You also can add games and sign up for weather alerts. There is so many things you can do just by using this one page its crazy! I love it, and have even already set it as my homepage on my computer.
