I've spent a LARGE chunk of my time adding gadgets to my iGoogle homepage! I am trying NOT to add a bunch of junk games and such, but it's sooooo difficult to stay away. I have added and deleted a couple of gadgets after seeing them on the page and testing how they work. My first gadget was my hamster! My friend had one on her page and it was so cute! It's useless...but darn cute! I also added a Wikipedia search box, I find I'm less opposed to Wikipedia these days. I'm not saying I want kids to use it as a reliable source for serious research topics, but it does have it's uses! I plan to spend the rest of my day playing with the Google Sites.
After searching the site for more information I was able to figure out how to delete a whole site. So I'm going to start playing around without the fear that my practice site will be forever "out there." :-) I'll have to think of something FUN to create a site for!!!! Maybe I should call for back-up...I'm not the most creative person...
On a completely different note I am starting to choose YA SF titles for my research! I have some great recommendations to start so I have no fear I'll have PLENTY of titles to choose from. One title I will be using for sure is Carbon Diaries 2015, as I have been asked to lead a book discussion about it! I'm excited to do it, but I haven't read the book yet, and the discussion is on Wednesday...that only gives me two days to get it finished! I'm on a mission tonight...I haven't been able to find a copy within a 50 miles! If I can't find the copy in the library today then I'm driving until I do! I'm just gonna say, this is a fairly NEW book, and a sequel JUST came out but not a single bookstore in the area has had one on hand!!!!!! Which may actually be impossible!
