Customizing a home page never really seemed interesting to me, until I learned of the different benefits and tools that iGoogle had to offer. It is intriguing to me that I can set up one page that has everything that is geared right towards the user. I can add my favorite music groups and other interests, and add widgets or tools that I know I will use. From now on every time I get on the Internet I am not just brought to a generic home page that has useless information, but instead I can go to straight to things that are of interest to me. This could be a useful tool for computers in the classroom because I know exactly what my students will see when they open up the Internet on the homepage.
The use of calenders and to-do lists through these applications and widgets will be extremely beneficial to me as a future educator, because I can give the parents and students fun and creative calenders and check lists to keep them up to date on what is going on in the classroom, and also when assignments are due. I recommend exploring all of the above tools, because they are all great and useful!
