On my igoogle page, I added a few extra gadgets that what was required. One of the gadgets is "Famous Optical Illusions." I'm always fascintated by optical illusions. Since I teach geometry, I think optical illusions are a great way to introduce students to geometric figures and topics.
I also added the gadget "Google Translate." When I taught at Poplar Bluff Junior High, I had a student with limited English profenciency. I used a translation website to translate directions and assignments from English to Spanish. Google Translate will be a great resource to use in a situation like this.
"Mathchallenge.net" and "Number Cruncher Game" are great mind challenging math games that I could share with my students. I tried playing the "Number Cruncher Game" and it's definitely a great challenge to exercise the brain.
I also like the weather so I enjoy seeing the "Weather" gadget.
Great gadgets. I hope you find some additional ones that are useful to you
