Adventure in Aggregating Pages

Aggregating pages is convenient online digital dashboard that is used to connect other Web 2.0 tools using a widget. At the beginning of my adventure in aggregating pages I was playing around with both  Netvibes and Protopage and I personally prefer Protopage. I can see advantages of using both but for this assignment I chose Protopage because I found it more user friendly and easier to add and customize widgets. With Protopage it was easy to connect my Blog, Wiki, YouTube playlist and Twitter searches in one convenient place. The most challenging part of setting up my page was to figure out how to add my YouTube playlist, but after a few minutes I had it completed. I like the fact that I can now go to one page to get updates and my page can be shared with others to view the information. I will continue looking for information and widgets to add to my Protopage since it is a very useful Web 2.0 tool.. I will be creating a personal Protopage in the near future which will be private to contain all my personal "goodies" such as weather, news headlines, and will make a great start page when I pull up my browser. Aggregating pages will be very useful in the classroom. All the Web 2.0 tools and websites the teacher needs can all be placed in one site for easy and convenient navigation. Teachers can set up aggregating pages such as Protopage and Netvibes to be used by parents and students. I will be using Protopage in my future classroom.
