Widgets for Your Website
More and more educators are creating a web presence either for schools, classrooms or personal use. Having a web page, blog or wiki can not only give you a place to share information or collaborate with your visitors.  But by adding some items called widgets, you site can do more. No matter is it is a traditional web site, blog or wiki widgets can be added.
