Thing #21 Pageflakes
This was pure fun and helful! Anything that helps me stay organized is welcomed. I have to do this for my work computer. I put things I need to see at the beginning of the day on top: weather, bible verse, quote of the day, the top 3 things I need to do that day, email, and a post’em for other notes. Nearby are my most used tools: del.icio.us bookmarks, search boxes, and reader. I’m going to enjoy this! Yes, this will help me professionally; organization always does!
I have an idea I would like to implement in the library computer lab, but I don’t know if it will work. I would like for pageflakes to display each of the electronic databases that the school subscribes to, the library catalog, the AR list of quiz titles, school site, classroom pages, etc. I’m concerned about the databases. I don’t know if their RSS is available to us. I checked the free part of one of the databases, BrainPop. I could not find the feed anywhere. I don’t know if that holds true for the subscription part or not. But I’m thinking I could work around that using links or short cuts in a cute gray box. I will certainly try.
