    I chose iGoogle for my start page , because I love the way I could put so many different things on one page.  I have already made it my permanent home page. Having it be my home page I can see what is on my  to do list and what I have on my calendar for that day. 
    Online calendars is a great way to stay organized and keep up with things that are due and appointments. I use the computer everyday day so it is very useful to have the calendar right in front of you when you are on the computer.
     I love the to-do-lists,  I started using this tool and it really helped me keep up with the weekly things I have going on and all the things my children are doing and places they need to be for the week. I can also put my grocery list and I can add to it.
     I would use the to-do-list and the calendar at home and at school. I would recommend either of this tools, because they can be beneficial at home or school.

I found the wiki to be similar to a blog. I know that with wiki you can edit other people's post and add to it, which makes that an easier way to collaborate. I explore the apsu23thingssandbox and was able to post a picture and add a text. It was neat that you could move around the pictures and design a whole new page if you wanted to.

I explored the website Gliffy (flowchart), and Bubbl.us (mind map). As I explored both of these I really liked Gliffy, because it was more interesting to me. I like using venn diagrams, and I was able to create one for shapes. My daughter is working on shapes and trying to recognize how they related to each other; so I thought by creating a venn diagram it would help her to learn this relationships. This would be a great website to share with students and other educators for assignments and lessons.

As I explored Zoho Writer, I found that it was very similar to Microsoft Office. I have trouble figure out everything in Microsoft, so trying to figure out Zoho was hard for me. I did notice that in Zoho Writer you could change the extension to what you needed. I really like Google Doc, that is were I created a drawing for fun!  This would be a great tool for the classroom to use, the students would love creating pictures for projects. They can also use Google Doc for presentations, spreadsheets, and also use it for research papers. This website is beneficial to both student and teacher.
