I explored all of the google web tools to see what I really like and would use. I set up a google alert account and it was set up on one of my mutual funds. I dont know what kind of bad news I will receive but I thought that would be interesting. The google calendar was a little confusing to me. I didn't like the time periods that it uses. Anything that goes past 12:00 gets me confused. I did like the feature that I could send people an invitation , but I did not like the times. I thought I could use the calendar for my basketball players and set it up where they could see times and practices but middle schoolers would have difficult knowing anything past 12:00. The iGoogle home page was easy to set up but I already have a yahoo home page and I did not see much difference. I thought I also would set up and investigate further the google notebook. I am still a little confused but I did find some information on decades that we do not currently have and I put that in my notebook. The web address for that notebook is http://www.google.com/notebook/public/04905526813765467927/BDQxBQwoQ_5X8sawj. The Picasa web album seemed not much different than Flickr and I wasnt interested in sharing more pictures.
I guess you could use this tool to help your students become more organized and have a notebook that they could keep for their research project. It also could have one place for all my findings and information that I find on the web.

The neat thing about the notebook is anytime you're on a webpage you can just highlight information and put it in your notebook. It will copy only what you had highlighted and give you a link back to the page. Of course you can create diferent notebooks kind of like folders. It would be great for students taking notes for a research project.
