Thing #16

I had already set up Google as my homepage. I found it was easiest to keep up with everything Google that way. It was fun putting onto the page things I want to keep up with. Since I love the beach so much I have two aquariums I watch. I also chose to have the weather there, newspaper cartoons and to keep up with the sites I am following. I also set up a calendar through my Google account. It e-mailed me at my APSU e-mail the reminders I had put there. That was a handy way to keep up with the assignments I had coming up. I took a look at Zamzar which is a file converter. I don't think I am computer savvy enough at this time to really use this tool, but will keep it in mind if I need to convert files in the future.

I did take a look at some of the Web tools available for students. Gradefix would really be helpful for my students who need to get organized and keep up with their assignments. This tool does cost $5 a month which some parents may not find beneficial to pay.
