I wanted to share with you all a neat online tool for scheduling and organizing school assignments.  It is called Pageflakes.  It is a webpage that you personalize with to-do lists, assignments, calendars, podcasts - all kinds of things. 
My main purpose for choosing to use this site is because I was looking for an easy way to consistently assign the websites and web courses that I want my high schooler to accomplish.  Initially, I intended to use this page only to organize his daily online links.  But, it worked out so well that I decided to add all of his assignments onto this page and have everything all in one place.
The site uses flakes (like widgets) which you add to your page.  Flakes can be pre-designed like the one below where the content changes every day:


Or, you can design your own flakes to meet your needs like the ones I did here:



Some of the neat flakes you can add are:
SAT word of the day
Dictionary word look up
Quote of the day
Art piece of the day
Local weather
Blog Feeds
Science podcasts
Sudoku games
And tons more!
You kind of have to "see" it to understand what I am talking about.  If you want to see a generic student page click here:

Or to see one I have personalized for my oldest teen, click here:

I have made my own page too and added weather forecasts, a flake that lists local events in my community, my favorite blog feeds, and sticky note reminders of things I need to remember.   Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think!  Dee
