I just learned about iGoogle on Wednesday of this week. I learned how you could customize your own Google interface adding graphics, links and other tools. I thought this could maybe be a help for those in eLearning since you can add list of RSS feed and blogs. It also keeps you up to date on a number of news items and you tube videos are also there. I feel with the number of tools (aka gadgets) that can be added to your iGoogle page and the fact that your iGoogle page can be accessed and where you jump on the internet there is a place for this in an eLearning class.
If you are behind the times like me and have never taken a look at iGoogle go to Google and look in the upper right corner for iGoogle and try it out. You will have to set up and account but all that is needed is and email address and to pick a password.
I'm pretty impressed by what is available for you to choose from.
The one disadvantage is that it will take a little longer to load the page when in iGoogle but it is like a mobile desktop.
Fun things, interesting things, eLearning aids = iGoogle
