Organization is a key thing that every teacher should have in order to be successful. It is also important for college students too, so they can balance out a very rough schedule every semester. Both students and teachers use the internet quite a bit during the day and most teachers have their homepage of their browser set to google or their gradebook and students have it set to the university homepage or facebook. There is a website on the internet called Protopage. It is a homepage that comes up everytime you open up your web browser and can hold links to your most important or most visited websites. It can also show your email inbox to show you if you have any messages. You can create a to-do list to keep you organized with all of your work. And you can add the little boxes called “Widgets” that can hold information like weather, sports, news, and entertainment from your favorite websites. You can also customise it to the way you want your homepage organized and even set the color scheme of you page. This is a very important tool that teachers and students can use to keep their lives organized and make surfing the web a much easier experience for them. Teachers can have links to their gradebook, blogs, and email all on one page instead of having to search for them. Students can have links to their blackboards, emails, and websites were they do their homework(ex. MasteringChemistry.com for chemistry homework). The to-do list is like having another agenda for the day on your computer. The Protopage website is free of cost and is very easy to set up.
