Thing 16

I chose the Galaxy theme for my start page on Google. This one appeals to me because it is colorful and an amazing scene, I have been using the start page for Google for quite some time now. It’s a bit outdated now, but I still find myself using it. After November of this year, it will no longer be available. This makes me pretty sad. The to-do lists help me out a lot so that I can remember what I have to accomplish within the  day, week, or even the year. As I’ve said in two previous blog posts, online calendars are important to me because they allow me to have one calendar that syncs with every device I use. I am always reminded when I have something due or a presentation coming up. I also enjoy sticky notes so that I can leave myself reminders all over my desktop and online. Students could use these and to-do lists to keep up with assignments and check them off as they're completed. I found and use Evernote and Pinterest frequently. Both of these allow me to organize and share ideas. Evernote will be helpful to students because it is a note taking tool that allows you to save and search notes. Pinterest is an amazing tool for teachers because it is a place to save or "pin" websites to refer to in the future. I have found many teaching ideas and lesson plans for elementary school that I plan to modify for my own classroom.
