This one was an easy one for me. I already have an iGoogle home page with the calendar function (yep, once again the list lover and oober planner in me). As an avid scuba diver (my husband even proposed to me while scuba diving....That's how obsessed I am with it!) and wanna be beach bum, I love altering between different "under the sea" and beach backgrounds. Ahhhh, what I would give to be laying on a beach, fruity garnished drink in hand or going on a night dive right now.....But, reality calls and the truth is, it's the major end of the semester "pulling my hair out" crunch time right now, so I better stay focused!
As an avid list writer (some may say obsessed), I wish that I could say that I liked the online to do lists more than I did. But I guess it leaves me feeling cheated. See, the best part of a list for me is crossing an item off it, and doing that online just doesn't leave me with the same satisfaction. I may be old school, but I'm okay with that! To me, it's kind of like the e-readers craze. Technology works for a lot of things, but there are some things that I just prefer the old fashioned way, and that's just the way it's going to have to be!
That being said, I do love using technology when it comes to a calendar. The calendar on my phone is literally just an extension of my list obsession, and gets updated every single day! Because of that, I doubt I would ever use some of the online calendars for personal use. However, I do see them being useful as a teacher. Having an online calendar will allow me to keep my phone as my personal calendar (although let's be honest here, I'm sure a few school related reminders will make it on there too), while an online calendar could serve as a way to keep my school meetings, field trips, projects, etc organized in one place!
