Module 1 - iGoogle

My name is Luke Collins, I am the Entertainment and Events Manager at Southern Cross Catholic Vocational College. As well as being Manager I am also the primary Learning Facilitator for the Entertainment Industry VET course.

In module 1 I was introduced to iGoogle and its numerous features.  As I progressed through the module I was guided to create an account and personalise my homepage.  I learnt how to change the theme, select new gadgets and how to add and subtract gadgets.  I then made this as my main landing page for each time I open Firefox.

I found iGoogle very similar to a platform that I use on a daily basis in my professional teaching environment. A specific feature that I liked was the ease in navigating the gadgets around the page.  Investigating igoogle further is going to keep me quite captivated I presume.
