Thing #12

I explored Google Calendar and found it very easy to set times and dates for my meetings and events. This tool can be helpful to both the students and me as the teacher. Students can put reminders in their calenders about homework assignments and upcoming due dates for papers. I can also share my events with my students if I have their email address. I will require all of my students to create a professional email address if they do not already have one because they are needed for college and in the real world. I could not survive without my gmail account. I did not want to include a link to my calendar because it is personal to me. I already created a Picasa account before this class because I edited pictures to give to my friends as Christmas presents. Picasa is a helpful photo-editing tool, which can be resourceful to my students in projects.

Here is a picture of one of my friends that I edited with Picasa.
