Thing #6

After searching through the Web 2.0 Awards I choose Google Calendar. I had never used this tool before, but I really like it. I'm the type of person if I do use a planner or calendar than I probably will not remember where or what I am suppose to be doing. Google Calendar is pretty neat it is a web-based calendar where people can sign in to their account and add events or projects to it. Another feature is phone notifications. Users can set it up to where it will send notifications to your phone so that if you are not online looking at it than you will not forget your appointments. Color coding different events is also and option. As well as being able to send your calender to others and they send theirs to you, or just sending a specific event. As a future teacher I could see this program coming in extremely useful to keep appointments and events organized in one spot. Also, if other teachers have Google accounts and use the calendar option than you could collaborate with your co-workers by sharing your calendars with each other.
