The gadgets are very useful. The intuitiveness of how to navigate around and put into practice the site is what one would expect from any Google creation. Feeds from iGoogle, such as the "news" RSS feeds, and others like geography and finance are a full measure of awesmeness for a social studies teacher. Using www.google.com/ig I am able to log in using the same email and password I hadset up for the class blogger account and associated gadgets.
Above is a snip of the added gadget, "Leadership Quote of the Day," to my iGoogle page.

Nick, I liked the "Leadership Quote of the Day" that you added. That would be a great additive to have within your classtoom. It would be a great bell ringer to have students reflect on what that quote means to them. I think that would make for a perfect journal entry! Your blog looks really great!
