Thing # 16

I am one of the most organized people I know, so this was an excellent activity for me to explore and learn from. I'm always looking for newer and better ways to become organized within my daily life and my classroom. Since I've began teaching, I've noticed that my organizational skills aren't so accurate anymore. I'm finding it difficult to seek the time to get organized, much less stay that way! I already made myself an iGoogle account with another "thing", and it's a wonderful tool to catch up on your daily items, such as email and weather. The next site that I went to was the CutePDF. I'm always having problems with my PDF files, and I think this will be useful when it comes to that problem. The next site that I chose was Sticky Notes. I am always using my post-it notes to write small items down, and this site is amazing. There are several times when I'm on the computer, without a sticky note in sight. This site will prevent me from ever forgetting something that I meant to write down on a post-it note. I also looked into the Stikkit online application, and I didn't really like it as much as I did the Sticky Notes. I signed up for the MSN Calendar because I'm addicted to MSN and all of its gadgets. I love My MSN homepage every morning (very similar to iGoogle). It didn't take anything to sign up for the MSN calendar except for my already registered username and password. I am able to import my contacts from my hotmail account, which makes it easier to remember things about particular people. I also like how you can share your calendar with other people. This would be an excellent idea to use with my fellow colleagues.
