WHS Project: Technology

In February, we shared how to use Pageflakes, which is a tool to get your blogs or website news to come to you.

Create a site on Page flakes.  It will display the name you enter in, so select carefully.

PageFlakes uses the RSS feeds to send the page to you.  For example, if you want to display all your students’ blog sites, or all of our campus blog sites, you can click the ”Add feed”  button. Paste the URL of the blog’s home page into the box provided.   Click add feed, and then it adds it to the front page of your Page Flakes site.

Then when you go to PageFlakes, you’ll see a display of all the different feeds at once.  It automatically updates them once you go into the site.

You can also add news feeds, podcasts, plus links you use.  To add a link, click “Add Flake” and click on the flake for a favorite/website.  Then paste the link in.

This is an excellent tool for students to use to gather research or to use for yourself to keep up with news articles or blogs.  Come by for a lesson in how to use it!
