iGoogle is a good choice for a personalized home page, especially if you prefer to use Google as your search engine. If you have used Google, you know that there is a lot of empty space on the main Google page under the search box. What iGoogle does is allow you to fill that space with handy little gadgets like a calender, a clock, or your favorite news feed. It can even bring up your local TV listing and Movie showtimes. It's easy to use and there are so many gadgets you can really personalize it and make it your own.
The gadgets in this application can help to keep me uptodate on information from a variety of sources. Likewise the application links to your Google calendar and has a to-do list to help someone keep on track. Beyond this I don't know how I would use the application in the classroom.
