Online Productivity

I chose the iGoogle web page. I already use gmail, Google Doc, Google calendar and Google photos so I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place. I will probably end up making it my permanent home page. I like being able to open the browser and have my email right there instead of having to sign in 2 a few diff accounts. I had all my email forwarded to the one address. It was also nice to have the weather available for the location of your choice when the page opened.

I currently use the calendar feature and think that's really helpful b/c you usually have access to a computer at school and it's a nice way to keep track of you daily/weekly schedule or homework assignments.

I looked at the Backpack website but wasn't really interested in it. I might have misinterpreted the info but it appeared you would have to pay for a subscription depending on how long you wanted it for??? It didn't seem like anything I couldn't already do with the Google page.

THe to-do list option was ok. I like the you were able to share it with others but I don't think I would use the list that often. I tend to write things in my planner or just remember them. I would probably forget to update the page.
