Getting organized can make any difficult task a lot easier. There are start up pages that can make your job a lot faster. I have igoogle as my homepage. It is wonderful. Every morning I wake up and look at the news, weather, horoscope, calendar, and tv shows on one page. This appealed to me from the beginning. Having everything together is easier, faster, and free. I have my personal calendar that lets me know about my assignments that are due so I wont fall behind. I also have google reader which has everything I subscribe to in one page.
I also explored mystickies. I just did an annotated bibliography, and this would have helped me a lot. I kept on going back to webpages because I forgot why I thought they were important. This made my project a lot longer than it should have been. Mystickies lets you add information about a webpage as a sticky note would. When you go back to it you know why you used it and why it was important. This tool will be great for future research projects.
I also explored chalksite. It can be used as a great online workspace for classrooms. Sharing, collaborating, and homework assignments. Usually universities utilize these features like blackboard and D2l, but I want my future high school students to have this experience. Workspaces can be created for each class and students would be organized.
