Thing 4

Today I started to look at Thing 4, and worked at a customized homepage. I chose igoogle, basically because we have used many google things in MILI. Many times I choose to use yahoo as a search engine though, so we'll see how it goes. I will probably try this one and see how it goes, I can always change if I find something I like better.

I like the added information you can just check and add to your page. I am going to try this out as my page and see how it goes. I like the news, entertainment, and time features. I have always enjoyed logging into yahoo, because of the quick nes stories they have, so I think it will be useful to have these on a page I can make into a homepage, if I choose.

Lookin at the online calendar, I am not sure about using this. I already use the calendar in my email, and I have found this very useful to have right in my email. Someone emails me about setting up an appointment, and I can just check my calendar right there. So, I'm not sure I would change this.

As for the to do lists, they made me feel overwhelmed. It just felt like a lot of work to do in 1 lesson, so I think I am going to have to revisit this with a fresh mind. I am interested in taking a closer look at the project calculator, but today.... I feel overwhelmed with all I have already examined, so I think another day I will look at this more closely for how I could use this tool.
