For this assignment, I decided to create a customized start page in iGoogle. I already have a customized start page in Yahoo. I have it set up with my Yahoo mail account. I personalize my news feeds and have designed my start page. I like that I can decide what kind of news shows up as my top stories and not just have to shift through pages about the latest Kardishian wedding!
For the assignment, Yahoo was not a choice, so I did the iGoogle page. I went through the process, but I found I was creating a page almost exactly like my yahoo page. I think I like my Yahoo page better, but the idea remains the same. I think my students would be interested in learning how to do this. In their world, they get so much of their information from the internet, that learning how to control and manage that information seems like something that would interest them.
