BP_2 iGoogle PLE

Today was a learning day for me. All start with i-Google. At the time of writing this article, I am enroll on the Full Sail Educational Media Design & Technology (EDMT) postgraduate certificate. last task required us to create our i-Google, prepared using some specific guidelines, and finally select it as our home page. For the task, had to divide the page into three sections. The first section is called home. In this section the main applications allow me to access my facebook and twitter account (which I have just set up) to keep informed and in touch with my contacts. Also I have access to CNN news, the Wall Street Journal and Wired Magazine. This allows me to keep up on what happens over the world, in the economic sector and the latest on technology. 

The second tab is titled FSO / HR. It uses the "My box link". With this application I have easy access to my most use links. I create two box links section. The fist titled Google/Emails Box of Links, allow me see my emails, the EMDT mentor site and access to mylinda.com (an online training library). The second one is titled Capstone Project: and contains my Action Research. Also use Ted Blog and Ted Video application from the site www.ted.com the ideas worth spreading as they call themselves very well. This site (one of my favorites) keeps abreast of the latest ideas, trends, technology, theories, debates, discussions, etc. .. both academic and business world. Take this opportunity to recommend two of my favorite presentations. The first is the mystery box of by the writer,director and producer J.J. Abrahams. the second is SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE END OF GENDER by media researches Johanna Blakley.

Finally the last tab is titled Resources Tab. Again I use two times My box link application.The first is for  for ETC Resources ant the other for Lynda.com training.i also put an scheduled application  to organize my calendar, the newspaper El Pais of spain (soon I'll be living there), and a dictionary to look up any word quickly that cause me doubt.

I'm fascinated with i-Google. This tool is excellent to help keep abreast of the latest information(any type), organizing tasks and even see how your contacts social are.
