The Joys of iGoogle and Google Docs

Since our last post, Heidi and Diane have been accepted as presenters for the TIE (Technology in Education) Conference at Copper Mountain this June.
Diane will present on Google Docs (see our last post) and Heidi will present on iGoogle. If you have tried out Google Docs for yourself, you may already know how useful it is and how it can revolutionize the way we can work and collaborate on a document.
iGoogle is where you can experience even more joy with Web 2.o technology. iGoogle is essentially your very own start page to the Internet. You can customize it any way you want so that you have instant access to things like blogs, your gmail account, RSS feeds and more making the Internet fully customized to you and your interests.
To learn more about iGoogle and/or Google Docs you could sign-up for our summer class at Heritage that is also being taught by Mike Porter and runs June 2-6 from 8:00 to 1:00 each day. Or, you could visit Heidi and Diane at TIE 2008: Wireless Dreams June 23-27 at Copper Mountain Resort . We will also be teaching more Heritage Tech Academy classes on this next fall.
Try signing up for a Google account if you don't have one, and check these technologies out for yourself.
