PLNs and Google Home Page
You can organize the way that you view your online resources with platforms such as iGoogle and Netvibes
I use iGoogle for tracking my student’s blogs as you get a look at everyone’s blog at once and determine who has completed their work. I have a snapshot of the page here.
iGoogle is my home page and I use it to organize all of my favourite web sites plus there are gadgets that you can add to customize this page. Take a look here:

I use Google docs for my English class and I have set up a collection in Google docs where all my students have access to every document in this collection. This precludes having to set them up in the sharing function of each document.
