I have found that the use of all of the Google and iGoogle documents has become a very big help to me as a student with my learning at Full Sail University since I started. Personal note though because much of what we are learning has almost become busy work because of the constant barrage of reparatory assignments between the different programs and can be quite boring and sometimes hard to keep up with deadlines due to so much explanation and research over the same things over and over again.
iGoogle allows me to build my own site and profile. The track while using different sites that I use all of the time from the same location. The ability to blog on this site and then get to the official one that is recognized by Full Sail University, as well as, other websites that are mandated to be used by the instructors. Another feature or gadget that we have available to use is Listy which allows us to list and prioritize things that are need to be completed. We are also able to use Google Reader for articles that are beneficial and share them with other people.There are many videos for training that are available to learn to utilize iGoogle efficiently with support in place if needed via email. Also, the ability to ad videos, graphics and other gadgets to the site is also a big plus.
As an educator, I will continue to use these this site.

Problems on line for over an hour with this site last night and had to retype this and one other post because they would not upload as a cut and paste. In my haste did not give the tag words. The tag words for this one are: Listy, gadgets, videos, graphics, and website features.
