How can we learn how to use all the Web 2.0 tools out there? It seems a new tool pops up every day. Who can ever keep up? Using Web 2.0 tools means having a spirit of adventure and a willingness to do some exploration, often with little or no instruction.
There are so many Web 2.0 tools that are designed to help us get organized, create, and share with others. Some work well, some not so much. Each of us have to play around with the tools and make decisions about which ones we will incorporate into our work. No one uses ALL of these tools, just the ones that make sense for what they want to do.
This Thing is designed to give you some choices and a chance to try out some productivity tools on your own.

I liked the 30 Boxes online calendar. This would absolutely be a great tool to combine school and home life to keep everyone organized.
