BP2 iGoogle PLE

Hello ETC'ers,

Before I start collecting some impacting and memorable songs off of the Billboard Top 100 Music Charts, I'd like to introduce you to my iGoogle page and explain how it serves as a powerful tool in assisting me not only through this blog, but my entire Full Sail experience! Cool huh?

Here is my Home Tab:



It's the perfect hub to manage my two predominant social media accounts via Facebook and Twitter, as well to stay in the know with the ever so changing Billboard Top 100 chart! I chose my theme of the Alps, because overall, I consider this awesome Full Sail journey a mighty trek upward. Only when my entire cohort and I graduate, will I "reach the top of success". In the same sense, it's also good to note that mainstream artists compete vigorously for the top #1 spot in influencing America via music.

Here is my FSO/AR Tab: 



Box of links are amazing crops of ink! The Full Sail EMDTMS program is dichotomized into two main focus areas, learning the most latest and powerful Education Technology for our designated careers, and our Action Research projects! This tab within my iGoogle PLE is a true gem, for all the links I have gathered consist of succinct tools to ensure that I reach that "glorious mountain top". My Action Research project title is "Engaging Music for Literacy Retention and Social Change," and one of the reasons I started this blog was to assist as an aiding mechanism in finding specific music on the charts that highlight themes of Literacy and Social Change. Therefore, I feel eternally grateful for quick accessibility to all my Action Research and Full Sail related links on my iGoogle PLE.

Here is my Resources Tab:



My Action Research and Full Sail related material aren't the only things embedded into my iGoogle PLE, so is this blog! I'm currently in the ETC course in the EMDT program at Full Sail University, and having quick access to my blog, as well as many other fantastic sources such as Educator Studio and Web 2.0 Guru are a great asset in ensuring my success. I also have on my resources page a couple other links, such as a handful of Lynda.com tutorials, and the "GRE Word of the Day" Google Gadget. I consider myself partly a visual learner, and Lynda.com does a great job in showing you how to get the task done efficiently. As well, this "GRE Word of the Day" Gadget will make sure I'm using the right words in this blog for your easiest comprehension and satisfaction!

So, let's all take a brief moment to celebrate iGoogle! iGoogle, and so can you!

Til Next Time,

Shrav
