What is a widget?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Your law professor's definition matches a definition from Wiktionary ("a small scraping tool consisting of a blade and a handle, commonly used to remove paint from glass and other smooth surfaces"), but the origin of this usage is not given:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Widget
"Widget" has come to mean any small manufactured object or device, synonymous with gizmo, thingamajig, etc. It can also mean a small device in beer cans and bottles designed to generate the foamy "head" on a poured glass of beer. More recently, it refers to a short computer program which can be embedded in and executed from any web page.

M$he used to clean away old caulking in the grooved area

I have a 60 yard old dictionary about 9" thick, it was not in there..
Maybe your Prof. better come up with a source when this is all over!!

Etymology (not strongly proved)
Blend of window and gadget, coined by George S. Kaufman in his play Beggar on Horseback (1924)
It is believed the word widget preceded this play.

Do you know of any other tools that could be a widget? You don't know how long this has been driving me crazy. He would tell us the answer and he's not at the college anymore.
I spent a long time searching on this one..Sat out in the Studio looking through that old dictionary for every possible spelling of the sound. nothing. I think maybe your Prof. was referencing a family use of the word or something equally unreliable. Hunt him down and accuse him of putting a curse on you ..lol.. or giving you post traumatic stress. and demand he tell you what he had in mind.

Click on embed the page, and a code will be generated. From there on, just copy and paste to a blog or one of your websites and it will usually work.
FOR EXAMPLE: I claimed the Mahalo page for Running. I also have a running website, so I embedded the code on my website. EVERYTIME THE WIDGET IS VIEWED, it counts as page views which ultimately rack up $$$.
Please visit my website: runningparadise.we.bs. Toward the bottom of the home page, I put a widget for the Running Mahalo page. Check it out for a better understanding of just what a widget is.
I hope I helped; have a great day!!!

By the way, I often get questioned as to why my website has that awkward ending instead of ".com". This is because I made the website for free by using 50webs.com, a website that allows me to make websites without monthly fees. I promise that it is entirely secure.
You don't get PAID for page views... you get paid for clicks on the AdSense ads... what are you talking about??
Calm down, it was a fault on my part. Sorry i meant to say that.
