1. Customized home or “start” page.
I have done this with my home computer, but since I am at work I am choosing to skip this step with my work computer. Done.
2. Calendar: Choose a calendar from this article and try it out.
I chose the Google calendar. Done.
3. Just about everyone makes lists. Try one of these online list tools to manage your activities. Ta da list or Remember the Milk .
I tried Ta da list. Done.
4. Some tools roll multiple features—calendars, lists, reminders, etc--into one service. Take a look at Backpack features.
Done.
Blog Prompts:
1. Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?
I didn't actually set it as my work home page, but i would choose the iGoogle home page. It seemed simple, straight forward and uncluttered. If I were to change my homepage I would choose this one.
2. Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at school or at home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others?
Not really. I think my set up here doesn't really apply for this. Maybe at another job or if I start using my home computer more.
3. How can the online calendars be useful to you?
They can be accessed anywhere. I liked the feature of creating a calendar. If I was taking a trip it would be an easy way to let my family know my plans.
4. What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…?
Easy, but too much. For the things I put on a to do list I usually would need the list with me. It seems like a redundant step since I add notes and make adjustments as I complete tasks and I do not have a computer with me at all times.
5. Did you try out Backpack? What did you think?
No. I wasn't interested at this time.
