Thing 21: Pageflakes
December 18, 2008 by dchildress
this is a great way to organize a lot of “stuff”. Being able to have your To Do list, calculator, dictionary, google serach bar, etc. might save a lot of time instead of going from site to site. I like the way you can customize to the information that you want to see or use most often. I immediately thought of adding my RSS feeds and email here so it can be your “one stop shop”. Of course, I got caught up in a lot of stuff that seemed really cool that I might never use, but that is part of the fun of window shopping.
A teacher might use Pageflakes for students to collect important feeds about particular topics they are studying. Being able to incorporate the RSS feeds and even Delicious bookmarks would be a great resource for students as they conduct research.
Above all it would be a lot of fun!
