Thing 16!

Thing 16 I think has been my favorite by far. I now have a new start page for when I get on the internet. My old homepage used to be the Austin Peay homepage, and I felt that I was getting tired of seeing that homepage every time I got on the internet. The new start page I picked for my computer was Igoolge. I instantly fell in love with Igoogle. I had fun learning all about how to make my new homepage. I got really creative with it, and put cute pink poka dots as my background. I even made out a  calendar, of al the things I had going on it the new month. I also made a to do list of all the homework I need to get done before this week is up. The calender, and to do list was a big help for me I think that if i keep using it I will stay focused and organized. However, I am still constantly making to do lists in my old regular paper notebooks, and I like my old paper calendar better. I do not think I could see myself using the online google calendar, or to do list. I also do not have a smart phone, so if I were to use Igoogle all the time to stay organized I would have to bring my laptop around everywhere, and I could not see myself doing that. So for right now I think I like the old fashioned way of paper and pencil better. I really liked when I was making my homepage that it asked what my interests were I picked news right away because, I could see myself using the news tablet when I start teaching. I would use it by adding things about what is going on in the world in to my lesson plan. I would do this because I believe that my little third graders should be aware of some of the things that is going on in the world. In conclusion, I am so happy that I found my new start page Igoogle :)
