Thing # 12

I tried out all of the Google tools, and they all seemed like they would be useful in one way or another. I was most interested in the notebook because I thought it would be a great tool whenever I'm working on projects that require research from several different sites. I was disappointed to learn that they aren't accepting any new "sign-ups" for notebook, so that was a bummer. I also liked the Calendar and Picasa tools. I'm a person who REALLY likes things to be organized, and I keep calendars everywhere... so I might as well have one with Google too. Any of the picture/image websites are always going to be useful for enhancing powerpoints, other presentations, or just for the fun of browsing. The only thing I'm not sure about is why I would want my calendar, etc. to be public knowledge... Sharing pictures with family, friends, and students is a cool idea though. I haven't set up a Picasa page for myself yet, but I plan on it.
