This is a link to Enough!flakes. I created it for the club I lead after school called the Enough! Club which is affiliated with Free the Children and Project Healthy Schools. The goals of our group include raising awareness, volunteering, and fundraising as well as eating healthy foods and exercising. This year, we are focusing on raising money and awareness about the genocide in Darfur, providing clean water and alternative income for the place in Sierra Leone for which we raised enough money to build a school last year, and helping sell Just Coffee, a Mexican cooperative which several of our members visited this past summer. In addition, we will volunteer our time at places like Food Gatherers in our our local community.

Using a resource page for a class project is another excellent way to utilize them. I have used an English Pageflakes page and math one, for those times when you have 5-10 minutes of free time at the end of a block period. I project the page onto the Smartboard and the students navigate it for various activities to finish out the remaining mintues.

I read about a site on John Chow’s blog today called http://www.43marks.com – its like Pageflakes and iGoogle but better cuz you can add all your bookmarks and the bookmarks can be websites not just gadgets and RSS feeds although you can upload your favorite RSS feeds too. Its free and totally customizable re-arranging categories and bookmarks in anyway you want. I really do like 43marks much better. It’s great for teachers! They give you a unique URL (43MARKS.com/username) where you can upload bookmarks that are of interest to the class your teaching Just give out the URL so the the whole class can see the bookmarks
