I had nevere heard of igoogle before I began this course and I was surprised at how easy it was to set up. My igoogle page is filled with gadgets that allow me to access websites that I use every day. These being hotmail, gmail and facebook. This is beneficial as I am able to access these websites through the gadgets and not through typing the email address or finding it in the my favourites colummn of the internet connection. I also created my own to do list, which reminds me of things that need to be complete each day. I have also changed my homepage to igoogle as it is surprisingly easier to access websites and gadgets quicker.
This Web2.0 tool has enhanced my teaching practice as I am able to use the gadgets on my igoogle homepage to link to websites that link to various curriculum practices in kindergarten . For example the weather gadget is a great tool for the weather unit the kindergarten children will be completing this year.
