I chose to use symbaloo.com to create my start page. This website appealed to me at first strictly because of aesthetics. :) I thought it looked fun and pretty, and what girl does not like her page to look pretty? Children are also drawn to things that look fun and pretty. This does make it east to access to any website fast, but I will not set it as my homepage. This is only because I like the homepage I have now and I can see the news when I open up. I do not mind typing the address of where I want to go.
The online calenders are extremely useful to a teacher, a mom, and anyone for that matter if your schedule is busy. I use my google online calender to keep up with assignments, doctor appointments, and much more. However, I do use an old fashioned calender as well :).
The symbaloo tool would be excellent to use on all the computers and ipads in the classroom. This way students can click the websites that they need to access right away, and you don't have to worry about them asking a million questions about where to go and how to spell it. The calenders could also be useful to students to help them keep up with what assignments are coming up.
