I loved this learning activity! I am one of the most OCD individuals you will ever encounter from the color coordinated closed to each pencil facing the right way! I love organizing and this showed me many tools that I used and even introduced me to a few new ones! I already use igoogle as a stary page. I was introduced to this tool at a past job as a receptionist and learned all the ways that it could help when trying to organize things. I love how you can select the things that you find of interest and customize just about everything on the page. I see it being my start page long into the future.
Online calendars can be useful when used correctly. It takes time to get used to the idea of writing down everything but it makes a big difference! You can also set reminders that can pop up or make noises when it is time to make that important call or get ready for a meeting. The same idea goes along with the to-do lists. Yes, it does take some work and time in order to get into the habit of keeping up with them but in time it just comes naturally!
I think all of these tools can be used both at school and home in order to keep the flow consistent and so that nothing gets over looked. I would suggest adding a calendar to the start page of your choice ( if permitted) so that it is always up and one click away!
