Which customizable homepage did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?
I am going to use the mpls webpage b/c it is there and kinda set up, not b/c it is the best out there. I currently can't remember my username and password and until ?mon when i can email someone at mpls i can't work on my webpage.
The advantages to using this website are: 1.I have already been trained on how to use it, 2. I have my autobiography done in French and English, some pictures and some links available. The disadvantage is simply that I have not figured out how to keep the formatting when I import formatted documents to my website, this makes the quality of my site less than desirable as a finished piece.
Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at school or home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others?
A personalized start page or "homepage" is something that I have never set up on my computers. It does make sense and I am going to try it. I use the computer more and more to check in on things- work, school, kids school activities, etc. I like the idea of having my daily interests all on one page in order to simplify and organize my searching and my updates.
How can the online calendars be useful to you?
I am trying to use the online calandar to help communication b/t my husband and I regarding our schedules for work, kids, activities, social engagements, etc. and my personal work mtgs, etc.
We have liked the calandars online especially b/c they can be accessed from anywhere and i like the color coding, etc. that makes it easier to read.
How would you compare and contrast the use of paper-based assignments and assigment notebooks to the potential use of online assignment calculators and to do lists for students?
This is an area that I really am interested in. I think it has huge potential for our students. My students need a place where they can check their work daily and where I can put up notes, etc. that were handed out when a student was absent/daily. What a great resource. My wonderings/questions are: how can I access a scanner that I can easily use on a daily basis to scan handouts that are not made on the computer- from a book or from an old lesson.
How do I manage a website that has everything I do daily in the classroom on it? It would be easier if I had more training and good ideas from teachers who have been doing this. Where can I start to list things for students? Is there one good website where i can find online templates that I can link to my school teacher page/my website? What is the easiest way to enter daily work, handouts, assignments and then link all of this to my current website??

I wish I had answers to all of the questions at the end of your post! I think you will continue to gain insight into what will work best for you as the year goes on . . . and certainly talk to your tech person about scanner and other specific tech questions. Also, Moodle (which MPS is promoting) may be a good tool for what you are looking to do, so you may want to find out more about it -- unfortunately, we won't be covering it in MILI.
