I have used iGoogle in the past, although I admit that I have used it more since I started taking this class, setting it as my home page just recently and making a sincere effort to update it and use the RSS feeds I have included. However, I also liked this “mash-up” as well and had fun exploring it. I found it easy to use and having the template to start from made it even easier. I especially liked the “share” feature of this for the classroom, although I am completely satisfied with iGoogle for my personal use and probably would not switch.
Classroom teachers could use this as a serious collaboration-type project with students contributing on a particular topic, not unlike a wiki. It could also be a wonderful communication tool with parents, in the right setting.
Very cool — with way, way too many options for new flakes!!!!
