Since I currently use Gmail as my email address, I looked into Google’s time saver website: Gmail Tasks. Gmail Tasks was easily accessed and user friendly, which I definitely need at this stage of my life. I was able to post messages to my Gmail account, list when all my homework assignments were due or my children have appointments and my parents have to drive them because I have a class. I sometimes wonder how my parents managed to do all the things they had to do and still get me to ball games and dance recitals. Gmail Tasks allows me to post all of these things in advance and then notifies me of the upcoming event. I do not think my mother’s desk calendar ever sent her a message to do something.
My parents and students have access to my iGoogle calendar listing class/school events, and activities of interest in art. I post a list of needed household items for future projects, and the parents start collecting them for me. The students get extra credit for bringing in these items. The parents get a masterpiece created from recycled junk. The landfill gets less trash.
