Thing #16

I chose iGoogle simply because I was already familiar with it.  I like that it is very easy to use and there are lots of gadgets to choose from.  Since I want to be a social studies teacher, I have This Day in History on my page.  I also love reading quotes so I have Quotes from http://quotes4all.net/ on there.  It is a great way to keep up with things but I do not use it as my home page; I am going to try it for awhile to see if I like it.  Online calendars can be helpful keeping up with things in your life.  When I tried to use one it took a long time to get the information into it.  I am just going to continue using the pocket calendar I keep in my purse and the calendar I have on my refrigerator at home. The to-do list was more work than the online calendar.  I am perfectly happy having Post-it notes covering the sides of my computer.  It makes the computer very colorful.  I would recommend iGoogle to others who want a good page that keeps up with the things that are important to you and what you find interesting.
