The start page I chose was iGoogle because Google has always been a reliable search engine for me and I thought anything connected with Google must be great. I am considering making this my start page for a number of reasons. Most importantly, I can customize my page any way I choose. They have wonderful background templates that make my start page pretty and interesting to me. Also, I can access anything I want from the start page, including Facebook accounts, gmail and anything other accounts I have.
Online calendars can be very helpful because I am already online so much anyways. It would be convenient to check it every day, if I can remember to. However, I did not like the calendars provided in Thing 16. You can call me old-fashioned but I prefer to use my trusty APSU planner because its tangible and easier for me to use.
I felt like the to-do lists are too much work because I use my to-do lists when I'm out running errands, not sitting at home on a computer. Most people don't have cell phones that have access to these online lists either. Once again, I may be old-fashioned but I like to use pen and paper to create my to-do lists!
The PDF converter can be very useful for teachers looking to print off documents that come from sources other than their own documents. If I got an email from someone who made it on a PC and I have a Mac, sometimes the printable version of the email isn't available. This is a wonderful, FREE tool that teachers can use when printing off worksheets from online sources also. I highly recommend it for anyone, not just teachers.
