Online tools
I have started to use http://pagekeeper.teachingmatters.org for my home page.
It doesn't have all the fancy tools and features, but I can set it up as my homepage
and I don't need a password to get on. I also don't need to download any software
to use it (like delicious). I have found that using this website as my homepage has
helped me keep track of the frequently used websites.
I love using online calendars. I always set them up to send me reminder e-mails.
I don't always remember to check my calendar, but I do check my e-mail every day.
I signed up for the "remember the milk" to do list. I liked the suggestion of just
leaving it up on my computer all day. Though I am not sure that this is going to work.
I think I really need something I can actually carry with me.
The question about comparing online tools to traditional paper tools is interesting.
I think paper is better, because it is more mobile. However, today's student is growing
up accustomed to using "online" for everything. Many handheld devices are now able to sinc
with online programs. That I think is the best way for the student of the future. Keep an online calendar but carry it with you on a mobile device. I love the diversity of tools that are being created for people to work with.

I put "remember the milk" on my igoogle page, but find I am not using it. As in college...I keep most of my to-dos in my head or in my paper calendar. I like the feeling of creating a list and scratching off what's done. Clicking a mouse button just isn't as satisfying to me ;-)
