Delicious would be a very good tool for teachers. They can bookmark certain pages and access them at any given time. It keeps things nice and organized, and teachers can get together and share all what they have found. I would use this tool when I am in a classroom by if I had a must see page to share in class it is as easy as bookmarketing it and having full access to it the next day in class. It also is something you can have anywhere, anytime, and any place with internet.

I have actually been introduced to igoogle before. My friend used it to set up her home/start page and she had talked to me about and I just never did it. So I did today, I really liked it and feel that it will come in handy for me. I have all the things that I use for Google right where I need them and instead if me going all over the place to get to my google drive it is awesome. I made it my home page and I feel special seeing that igoogle waiting for me when it loads.

The online calendars and to do-lists can be very helpful, specially for a teacher. There is so much going on daily that one could not possibly remember all that needs to be done. It can keep you on schedule and on time with grades, homework, projects, assemblies, and etc.

I did like the online calendar, but I used to using my phone for all my reminders and things like that. I think it will be better for me as I go into my carreer to start using it.

I have come to know Wiki in the past and by doing this now I feel like there is so much I have missed out on. I think it is crazy that stuff can be edited. It use to be my main research place, but after finding out that it wasn't as realiable as some had thought we were always told not to use Wiki. I went to the apsu 23 things sandbox and I was thinking about changing something but I couldn't. I don't like to change people's things and I would be thinking about it all night, even knowing it really isn't that horrible of a thing. That's just who I am.

The two I navigated through was Bubbl.us and Mindmeister. I first chose Bubbl.us because I liked the look of it from the 23 things page. Bubbl.us is very user friendly and could really come in handy for teachers. I remember using flow charts in school and to be the one on the other end and creating them for my own use is pretty exciting. Making them is always fun.

Mindmeister was ok, I was not to thrilled on it, but I can understand how some people could. I am going to be working with little kids and big, bold, and colorful is what I will need. Mindmeister seems for more of an older group.

I looked around both Google Docs and Zoho, since I have never been fimilar with either of them. I liked Zoho the best out of the two. I have gotten use to all the different applications like Excel and Powerpoint that Microsoft has to offer, and I really like the fact that both Google Docs and Zoho allow you to store and use all in one pacticular setting, makes things so much more convenient. Where has this been since I first started working with applications? I did find them to be confusing at first but once I spent time on it, it just came to me and then I realized how much of an advantage this is to us. What is even better about it is that you have to pay for Microsoft and Zoho is free, and I like free.

I did make a drawing on Google Docs...

I have become very familiar with Google Maps. It allows you to search and look at any place you can think of in a 3D image. I remember in high school me and a couple of friends were in the computer lab and we just went on Google Maps and tried to determine when they captured the image of our houses. Stuff we did back then was crazy I guess.

Since I have learned about Google Translate I really like it. I like the fact that it gives you so many translating options. I played around with it for awhile just entering things to translate in different languages. "Bu benim ilk blog denemesi olacak ve ben keyif aldık." I'll let you guys translate that now It's just in Turksih!

I knew Google offered a bunch of stuff, but did no understand it offered so much that I now recently came to know about. Google Blog Reader was easiest for me because it is just plain and simple like the other things Google has to offer.

I still think Google has the best search tool. Im very familar with it since I have used Google with all my research and when I just surf the web. I really like Google. It's even my homepage when you get on the Internet.

I explored Technorati, but didn't find much interest with it, maybe because I'm just not as use or comfortable with it like I am with Google. It takes me time to get on the same page with something new being introduced to me. I'll try to start using these more often and I might have a different answer later.

I liked Topix because as soon as I clicked on it, it was already giving me newsfeed for my current zipcode. It was pretty cool, I just started putting in other zipcodes like Clarksville and Nashville and read there newsfeed. I really like Topix.
