I've tried two of the Google Apps, Calendar and iGoogle. The calendar is very cool, although you do have to sign in daily and have it minimized while working so you can get the reminders since it's not through Outlook. Although, I think I did see where you can merge it into an Outlook calendar. I'll have to dig deeper into that one. I do know that Silver Creek uses the calendar to schedule time slots for the library, she said she loves it. (this was the application right Lynn) I might have to take a peek at that one. I can hear the staff freaking out about that change.
http://www.google.com/ig?source=mpues&hl=enMyra also introduced us to iGoogle two classes ago and it has great possibilities. I like the fact that there's quite a few "folders" across the top and a lot of room for adding "stuff" to my page. I want my page to be like Myra's. Myra, do you have a year to make mine like yours??? This page could actually be used in a classroom/library to get daily up to the minute RSS feeds so the students can investigate a certain topic of discussion. Fun stuff!
