One function of a wiki is the ability to work collaboratively, meaning with other people. Today we will look at one step in that direction - the discussion tab. I will demonstrate how to access the discussion tab. Your task will be to leave discussion comments on the tabs of three of your classmates profiles. Skip the person to your right and write on the discussion tabs of the next three to your right after him. These comments should include: This portion of your Profile page is due at the end of next class, be sure to read people's suggestions and be prepared make changes by the end of next class. I will be checking both the discussion suggestions and your updates then. and media type="custom" key="8232970" media type="youtube" key="eRqUE6IHTEA" height="405" width="500" align="center"
 * 1) Something positive or interesting you found in the profile.
 * 2) Something new you didn't know about the person before.
 * 3) A question about something in the profile.
 * 4) A suggestion for improvement said in a very nice way.

We will set up three tabs in iGoogle today: Home, School, Entertainment, as well as setting up a Google docs account for your iGoogle account.

iGoogle can also be used as an RSS aggregator. What is RSS? How can we use it? Use the internet to research what RSS means, so you understand it, and add at least one RSS feed to your iGoogle home page. Be prepared to share this at the beginning of next class.
