This has been another adventure in technology and Google! I chose to set up a calendar and an iGoogle web page. I used the Prism from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for my iGoogle theme (they did not have any UofM artwork or logos). I have set up my calendar for the next three months. Of course, my dance card is not completely full yet, but I am sure that it will change. This reminds me of the scheduler that came on our first computer that we had over 10 years ago. It had a similar calendar function. This can come in handy since this does something that did not: it sends you an email reminder of your function. While it may not work for students, it definitely is an excellent tool for planning weekly and semester activities for the classroom. The iGoogle homepage is a good source of daily news items. I also included entertainment, sports and weather. One never knows what may come up in a classroom discussion. This page can at least provide some assistance. The links to my calendar and iGoogle page are listed below:
