Thing #6

The site that I selected to explore from the Web 2.0 Award nominees was Google Calendar. I liked this site because it showed you a calendar and you are able to add events and things to the calendar. The coolest tool that I found on this website was the option to set a reminder. You are given the option to choose either a Pop-up or email. You then get to choose how much time before the event that you should be reminded. There is a box to type in an exact number and then you choose from a scroll down menu of minutes, hours, days, or weeks. I find this tool to be extremely helpful because if you are like me you easily forget about things, however, with this tool you can set a reminder for the day before and you should be good to go. You also can set more than one reminder, which can help you remember things even better.  Also when you go to set up the event you can also invite people to the event by placing their email address underneath where it says add guest. You are also able to give more options when you send out the invite. I found all of these things at Google Calendar. I think that this can be an extremely helpful website to use.

These website can be extremely helpful at school. It can be used to remind parents of events coming out. You can also invite parents and students to events. Both of these things will be helpful in a school setting.
