Personal start-page tools in educational setting

Here is a short video that H. Songhai presented at the EduCon 2.0 Conference held at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, January 27, 2008. A very nice example of the use of personal start-page tools in educational settings! I would like to get in touch with more people that are doing this, for instance in an academic organisation.

Another start page to consider is Odysen at http://www.odysen.com.

A couple of the key differences include 1) the ability to integrate as many news feeds as you want into one widget (saving space, being more efficient) and 2) free-formatting widgets, allowing you to change the size of the widget to whatever you feel is most appropriate to the content.

There is also a blog available for feature updates and page examples at http://odysen.blogspot.com.
