[] - Create a Google page that displays a variety of tools in addition to the search engine. Use this as your classroom start page.
 * **Either create an account or don't delete your cookies.** If you don't sign in, your iGoogle page is saved just on your computer.
 * Rather than adding too many things to your page which can make it load slowly and increase the chance of browser crashing. instead create multiple tabs (e.g. one for games, another for RSS feeds, etc).
 * Most of the time when you type in a name for your tab, it will automatically add content, depending on the tab's name. Uncheck the "I'm feeling lucky" box if you'd rather start from scratch and add your own gadgets.
 * Gadgets now have a Canvas view


 * Google Body: ** http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/
