More on Personalizing the Internet

I think google calender is really neat. I love the idea of having everything easily access able. I will use this with my classroom by posting due dates and events the students should remember. I think logging onto google each morning and going over what we have to do for the week with our calender then checking out the phases of the moon and the date and time it's all in one webpage and i love it. For personal use i think google calender is a great way to keep myself organized. I think having two calenders, one for the students and parents and one for me is probably what i'll do. The parents will love this idea because they can always have access to what is due for their studnets. This way i think we can have an understanding that all the information is out there and easily accessable to late assignments will not be tolerated.
the bookmarks thing is alright. I'm not really sure i'd use this along with google reader. I would use bookmarks for sites that you could not subscribe to, but the ones you can will already be in my reader or aggregator which i think would be easier for students and parents to use.
i cannot say enough good things about the technology conference i attended this weekend. I attended the SMART board presentation and the COURTT presentations. The smart board is just amazing. i would love to have one when i become a teacher. From the COURTT presentations i got a lot of reallly good ideas. I definitely want to do a lesson making a digital story.
All in all, i think that when i become a teacher my students will be a lot more technological inclined and i think this class and the conference will help me to prepare!
