Wms Thing #16

Because I often have many minimized tabs, sticky notes with reminders and appointments, Web based applications that improve productivity are just what the doctor ordered.  For setting up my homepage I used IGoogle.  IGoogle enabled me to place all of the pages and applications that I use in one central location..my homepage.  In addition to my news, weather, Facebook, email inbox, calendar, things to do horoscope, bible verses all now being centrally located my navigation time is redcued greatly. 

For the calendar application, I tried the 30 boxes.  Because 30 boxes allows consistent updates and sharing, I think it would be a great resource for planning purposes in the classroom setting that could be shared with students and parents. 

In managing my things to do, presently, I have sticky notes, printed calenders, and index cards listing all of my appointments and schedules. Worse, I despise the taste and smell of milk.  Who would have imagiend that of all of the web applications used to improve productivity, I enjoyed the "Remember the Milk" application best. "Remember the Milk" enabled me to consolidate all of my different manual to do tools, could be easliy navigated, accessed from anywhere, could be shared, and most importantnly could be added to my phone. 

I have plans of continuing all three productivity applications in both my home and classroom as they can be all used to stay abreast of both ongoing and upcoming events, which is helpful to educators, parents, and students.
