Wow, what a neat tool! I didn’t realize there were SO MANY fun tools out there that could be used in the classroom. Once again, I’m so glad I took this class! I see Pageflakes as another source to organize information. As far as classroom use, let’s say students were studying a particular unit in whatever subject. Both the teacher and the students could gather info. from the web from a variety of sources: video, pics, links to sites, etc. These could all be organized and put here. Students could refer back to the Pageflake page to complete assignments/projects. Yes, blogs and/or wikis could also be used OR all may be used if organized and arranged carefully to avoid overlap and information overload/confusion!
I had fun playing with my Pageflakes page. I didn’t change out all the flakes on my page because I felt I’d spent enough time with it for the moment, but I did make it more ME! Here it is!
