iGoogle is a great tool. I like the way that you can adapt it to suit particular events etc. In a discussion with other tachers about this tool we looked at using it to have changing things up on the projector screen and or IWB when students begin class. It can be changed to suit a particular theme and thus keep it fresh for each group. The physics teacher talked about using physics type applications, a primary teacher thought they could have a theme set up while working on this in class. From the library side of things I chose library/book/news/elearning type applications and tried it with a class - they enjoyed it!
Google seems to keep improving all their applications - but I would like a bit more choice on wallpaper/themes! But I like the way now you can adjust the size of boxes, move them around easilyy etc.
And, Google seems a fantastic place to work - and a place where teams seem to work well. I also looked at that aspect of the company when watching the videos and have also read a few other thongs about the comapny.
And, I wish our library had the funds for some similar furniture etc!!!!
