- I am a complete idiot for not reading Will Richardson religiously. Pageflakes for students and teachers is powerful stuff.

What a start it gave me to see Floydada mentioned in your post! I have family there; it’s a small, small town. My mom was born near there in the same county.

Hello Clay,
My name is Elvine from Pageflakes and I just recently came across your article on Pageflakes for students and teachers.
In fact, we have just launched an “Educational Start Page”, dedicated to teachers around the world. Over the past couple of months – and with the help of the educational community- we have created a start page with a focus on educational tools, news and features. Actually, you are one of the first to see it and I am hoping that you can help us to improve it further. I’d be thrilled if you could go to http://teacher.pageflakes.com and explore it.
The “Teacher Edition” is based on the original Pageflakes technology, offering sharing and publishing options, adding your own content, customizing the page, changing the layout – all for free and even without signing up. In addition we have customized the gallery (click on the big, golden button at the upper right hand corner) and populated it with educational tools and news. We have also created a default page setup (the one that you see when you first check out the site).
There is more to come in the future and I am hoping that you can actively help us to improve the experience. Your questions, ideas and suggestions are more than welcome. I am happy to send more background information and screenshots. I am also available for a call if you want to discuss in more detail.
Thanks for your time and support.
And “Congratulations!” to you as a finalist. The best of luck in the competition.
Best Regards,
Elvine
