I chose Google Calendar as my Web 2.0 site. I chose this because I am very big on staying organized and I thought this was a great way to keep my thoughts in order--virtually. It has many great features such as color-coding, multiple viewing options, and the ability to view it on your phone or gmail account. You can also receive notifications via e-mail to remind you of upcoming events. You can use different colors to associate with different genres, or even create two separate calendars altogether. As for any dislikes, I do not have any at this present moment. I feel like the website was very thought-out and well designed. It is simple to use, and a great way to stay organized. I definitely feel that this can be used in a school setting. Maybe not necessarily for a student, but for a teacher. This is a great way to keep all of your things in one place, instead of having sticky notes everywhere or flipping through a paper calendar that sits under all of the papers you have to grade at your desk.

This website sounds very helpful. I too am a little crazy on staying organized. I literally COULD not live without my planner. However, I tend to leave it laying somewhere all the time! If I get involved with this website, then all my information would be on the internet which I can easily access from my phone and wouldn't have to worry about my planner getting lost! I also like the fact that this website eliminates paper waste!
