Thing #16

I chose to use Netvibes to do my start page. So much time and creative information can be shown on that start page. I think these types of pages will be great for individual presentations in English in secondary schools.  The different ways to show the creative side of the student will help those who feel like they are not creative, like me. I think once I set up my classroom I will use this as a way to do my start page.
The online calendar 30 boxes is useful and seems to be easy to add information to it. The fact that there are "to do" lists that the students can use to let me know where they are in the progress of their projects. I like looking at calendars to see where I am and where I need to be, to help me keep up, I believe these will be great sources for the students and teachers alike.
I like the Ta da list of online lists as it seems easier and I love the thought of Jott personally but I don't think it would be feasible for students.  I would say that if I was going to use a "to do" list I would stick with the calendar because it has both the "to do" and calendar apps. Instead of doing an additional app for a list.
The backpack program is awesome, using all of the above listed items together on one site, it is great.
All of the products available for better quality production of the students work are really good, I just hope that where I teach we will have a fraction of that available to us.  I love the 30 boxes calendar and lists site, I feel it will be useful at home and school.
