Thing 16: Web 2.0 Organizing

Technology can be a bad thing if we become too dependent on it. Web 2.0 tools serve a nice way of keeping ourselves on track with current events in the form of calenders, new feeds, and personal webpage tools. However, when we begin to rely on to-do lists than we have reached a problem.

Using a personalized homepage helps insure that I have your necessary tools at your disposal may it calenders, weather apps, and even quick e-mail access to help limit waste of time for myself and that is why I use one myself. Calenders are useful for me since they contain my daily schedule events me and remind me of any important dates for a week or month. I am not that irresponsible to rely on a to-do list for I have a brain. If you need a virtual to-do list then you probably suffer from Alzheimer's. Also the time to make a to-do list is a complete wasted since you could have already completed the task in the same amount of time it took you to write it down.

Of all the tools I evaluated Zamzar is the most impressive. The ability to convert files to alternative formats is a most for those seeking to use a document on a different computer without the same supporting software such as the various versions of Microsoft Word. I would use this software to insure that multiple versions of lesson material is able to sent to my students so they can study without fighting warnings of software incompatibility.
