I have just completed the Pageflakes task. Admitedly, I need more practice getting everything I want into the page. I felt a lot like my students must feel when I give them an assignment involving previously learned skills. At least they are learned from my perspective. In reality, the process involved in the skills can be difficult to retrieve from memory. I found this out when I attempted to go back and culminate these items together all in one page.
So, I practiced and took more time than most probably would take to edit the template and get some things in there that I wanted. Now my reaction is, “Why are we using edline?” Wouldn’t this be more productive to our students? I could post podcasts, assignments, links to useful online tutorials and/or online quizzes and practices. It would be much more useful to both students and parents.
An alternative topic or theme that might be fun to use Pageflakes for would be that of organizing a trip in which many different people were going. Family reunions, tours, etc. Maps, links to particular sites of interest, pictures, research, preparation check-lists. The possibilities are endless.
