Google Productivity

I love my Google home page!  I can add or delete the apps I use as I see if they are necessary.  I can see all the information I need to start my day in one place.  I have a weather app, my gmail, the news and even a comic to start off the day with a bit of levity.  I also have my Google calendar on this page.  The Google Calendar is a great tool!  I love the way I can set up appointments easily and quickly.  I can set up reminders for when I need them, whether it's the day before or an hour before or even ten minutes before.  I also added the Google to do list that is simple to use.  These tools have been quite useful in keeping my life organized.  I also have my Google page linked to my Facebook and Twitter feeds so everything I need to know is in one place.  I can imagine this being extremely useful once I begin my teaching career.  Being able to keep track of everyone's schedule and my own will be easy and quick.  

I use all of these tools currently and find them to be a quick simple way to make remembering things and being informed as easy as 1, 2, 3.  I forgot to mention you can also link your calendar to others so your family and coworkers can also see what it is you are doing this week, month, or even year!  Being able to do all this from bed in my pajamas is really amazing!  I am thankful for technology many times over.
