iGoogle with Students

iGoogle:  personalized home page with immediate access to your favorite resources

Ninth grade students in all social studies classes have set up iGoogle pages.  They can add:

Þ Teacher calendars (if RSS feed available)

Þ Resource widgets (search boxes to credible sources)

Þ Current Events

Þ Personalized themes and other gadgets

Þ Calendar

Þ Task/To-Do Widget

iGoogle is a great tool to organize and locate important information.  No longer are students interested in visiting a bunch of different websites to find one piece of information.  Students prefer technology customized to fit their needs.  iGoogle allows students to customize their needs and integrate teacher calendars, library resources, and other organizational tools.
