When I first started using a computer, Internet Explorer was the only option that I really knew about and my main email account is still msn.com. Then I started using Firefox and decided to use it strictly for my schoolwork. I wasn't happy with IE too much anymore, so I started using Google Chrome for my personal stuff. In essence, I use 3 different home pages for different reasons, just like 3 main file folders.
Since my IE's homepage is just AOL's homepage, I decided to replace it with Igoogle, feeling sure that I would like that better. There are so many things that I like about Google, I feel that I can't go wrong with it and it will remain my homepage for my Internet Explorer.
I chose MSN Calender to try out. I liked that it had the weather for each day and a tab to create a to-do list. If you put everything on your calendar then a to-do list is sort of redundant to me. Right now, my life is not too complicated so it's easier to keep a hand-written calendar and to-do list. Once I start teaching, I am sure that I will keep these things with me technologically. I think that I had referred to a Franklin planner being used in my former career before this sort of technology was available. These tools are the new planners and necessary for efficiency.
