Explains the idea of Netvibes, with an example or two. Also points to other ways of doing the same thing.
Below are four RSS Feeds added to this page. The BBC News, Guardian, Education Guardian and the The Independent Education page. But you could add anything that has an RSS Feed.
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.
