After a few hours of time to refelct on yesterday’s session with Will Richardson I’m liking PageFlakes as a nice “next step” for teachers. While I prefer certain aspects of a wiki page, it seems many similar benefits could be attained (more quickly too) with a PageFlakes page dedicated to a research topic, or themed area of concentration.
Elementary students learning about whales, middle level groups investigating world cultures, or high school researchers tracking world enconomies could each benefit from a page that centralizes their custom-made collection of feeds.
By bringing together opinion, research, news agencies, and local coverage a rich gathering of perspectives is gained. These discrete pieces of text, audio, images, and motion video inform students’ work.
Check out the possibilities by starting a PageFlakes account and consider your own custom resource for the next project-based activity you’ll be doing with your students. Explore the features at http://www.pageflakes.com/
