Along with serving as a homepage, Pageflakes and Netvibes are aggregators for RSS feeds, websites and online embeddable content. That means that it allows you to collect all of the sites you already use and visit frequently on one page (or a few tabbed pages if you choose). In this way, you can quickly check your favorites and professional news without leaving the site.

Taken a step further, Pageflakes can become the one webpage that delivers a whole unit of content to your students. Load a page with educational videos, embedded websites, collaborative graphic organizers, podcasts, message boards, blogs and the list goes on and on. Pageflakes can strip away your fear of student web research from lack of direction and resulting in a waste of precious class time. It all starts one flake at a time.
