So many ideas! I need to lock myself in a quiet room for a couple of days and experiment!

Create a RSS Mix to combine source feeds from different sites.

Integration with Edmodo - Create a RSS Mix and then in Edmodo Subscribe Group to Feed.

Hidden ability to create Google Bundles in your Reader feed. Login to Google Reader and then type bit.ly/gbmaker and then click on bottom link to activate.

My head is spinning! Thanks to Miguel Guhlin.

Collaboration within Google Sites and how it is being used in HS social studies classroom at FSHISD.

High school history students create and maintain classroom site with study resources, embedded videos, widgets, etc.  Max Gorham has some 'locked' pages that he maintains, but most pages are created/maintained and updated by students!
