iGoogle

This is my first attempt at using iGoogle to link the apps I use most. I am intrigued by how this could be used for educational purposes. As I type, my iGoogle page is also displaying online Scrabble and Chess. I am looking at images from the National Science Foundation. I am learning the Spanish word of the day. I can see the phases of the moon and pinpoint locations with Google Earth... WOW!

The possibilities are endless.

I suppose the potential for trouble is also endless.

Thought for the Day

"There is a great danger in the present day lest science-teaching [and mathematics education] should degenerate into the accumulation of disconnected facts and unexplained formulae, which burden the memory without cultivating the understanding."

--J. D. Everett [In the preface to his 1873 English translation of Elementary Treatise on Natural Philosophy by A Privat Deschanel. (D. Appleton and Co.)]
