Thing #16

Like Tink, I had already set up iGoogle as my productivity tool. I do like the fact that I now have a bar that has news, sports, weather updates, etc. which can be accessed directly from my desktop. I had already chosen Google calendar for a previous exercise. Therefore, I selected Sticky Notes. I find myself sometimes forgetting something of importance, that may get left off the calendar. With Sticky Notes, if I should think of something that needs to be addressed, I can make myself a note and then put it on my computer. Hey I can even send my wife a note to remind her that she needs to leave work and come home (she sometimes gets a bit wrapped up in her work at AAFES). I can see both of these tools being useful in the classroom, especially when something of importance needs to be addressed, or when an event occurs that may be of interest to the class.
