Module 1- iGoogle

What is iGoogle???
iGoogle is a personalised home page that gives students and teachers at-a-glance access to key information from Google and across the web.
I have been using iGoogle at home for quite a while now. I use it to keep myself organised. I have set it as my homepage so that when I log on it tells me...
  • Upcoming birthdays
  • Breaking News
  • Weather
  • Maps
  • Calculator
  • Local Petrol Prices
  • and the all important.... cute German Shepherd pictures
Why would I get my students to use iGoogle?
  • to stay informed with breaking news and current events.
  • to create a class calendars
  • to create to-do lists
  • to add an encyclopedias gadget
  • to add dictionaries
  • to keep up to date with blogs
This is such a fun and useful online tool.
