I have a Google account and one day when I signed up and it was very different. There was a calendar, news feeds from CNN.com, and other apps. I didn't know what happened, but I liked it. I was able to customize the page and make it look how I wanted it. I even added a bunch of other tools such as To Do List, Quotes of the day, Weather, Moon Cycles, and Useless Knowledge. I also get my RSS Feeds sent to my start page. The theme is 90 mile beach. I choose it because it reminds me of home and it relaxes me. It's nice to have something that's mine and have creative freedom with. I love messing around with it and it's convenient which is always a plus for me. I hate things that waste my time!
I think having an online calender and to do list are extremely helpful and better than having it in a notebook or a hard copy because I always have access to a computer, but I don't always have my backpack with me. I can utilize these tools for school at work and it helps keep me organized and on top of assignments.
I would recommend having a google account to my students and I would inform them of all the great things that come along with it. My teacher in undergrad told me about Google and Dr. Wall perfected it for me.
