I read all your comments and was wondering if anyone has ever used Pageflakes in a Primary School environment with students. I can see its value as a personal tool to follow stuff after watching a youtube tutorial on it. Hi, I am part of Will and Sheryl’s 2009 PLP program.

Because I did that, I feel like I had an introduction to Pageflakes and can visualize a classroom context. In some ways, my serendipitous wanderings and flailings on the web are real portholes to understanding. Hey, am I becoming a 21st century learner?

That made me rather uncomfortable... Sharing is great but when I googled my own name I was led to my classroom website and newsletter. That made me rather uncomfortable…

I think it is important to take it slow. Some great stuff. I think it is important to take it slow.

I can't wait to give it a try. Are there any concerns I should know about or address before getting my students involved? Thanks in advance. This sounds like a great tool.

I will take look at that as well as some others mentioned. Since I am just beginning, do I really want to be more "clickable"? I am a bit overwhelmed as it is-so I think I will become more comfortable, before I become clickable. :) There really are so many tools-thank you for your suggestions about Pageflakes.

I just set one up and it was fairly easy to do. The kids will have no problem with it. I think I will encourage our students to use it as a homepage on their laptops to help them with their organization. It has a place for tasks, a calendar, class schedules, and much more. Thanks again. This is great! I just set one up and it was fairly easy to do. The kids will have no problem with it.

Just when I was getting used to the idea of Blogger.com and wikispaces, you throw in Pageflakes and Flitter and Twitter, or is it Flicker or Twicker? Seriously, there are so many tools out there. Those of us who are true novices need to be reminded that we don't have to know it all. We just need to be open to learning it all. Wow!

Also, there is a place where you can add your own bookmarks to sites that aren't "live feeds" but just pages you want to include on your Pageflakes site. Simon, Pageflakes(or Netvibes also) are great ways to, as you say, have students "get their fingers out there at all times." Great way to model for students how to have their "research" tools working in the background for them! Katie,
