It allows you to mix websites, notes, calendars, RSS feeds, video, audio all in one easy to use desktop home page.
This is the Public face of a netvibes account. It must be the quickest way to publish a website. There's a private face, which on this account has another 16 tabs of odds and ends.
Not sure about Netvibes, try the link below.
Then sign up for your own account using the link underneath.
Netvibes is not the only way to do this. You might like to try iGoogle, Pageflakes or Symbaloo.

Explains the idea of Netvibes, with an example or two. Also points to other ways of doing the same thing.
Over on the right there are various search engines, maps, a calendar and a to do list. These are called widgets and there are about fifty and more being made every day.
If you click on one of the tabs, Primary EDU Blogs, Web2.0 EDU Blogs and Overview EDU Blogs you will find pages of EDU Blog feeds. Choose the ones you like for your own pages. There's also a page of EDU Wikis and EDU Nings and three big idea sites in Edutopia-TED-FLUX.
Then a page of useful wikis and a social networks page.
Also a tab leads to press releases from the UK's DCFS and one for Innovation Unit. Needless to say the categorisation, number of tabs and final number of sites is up to you.
