A couple new things emerging on the horizon....

• This one is about Citizendium - another Wikipedia - article about this is located at http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6126469.html - the actual Web site - http://www.citizendium.com/
  
• Google Docs and Spreadsheets - http://docs.google.com/
  With Google Docs & Spreadsheets, you can:
  
• Use their online editor to format documents, spell-check and more.
• Upload Word documents, OpenOffice, RTF, HTML or text.
• Download documents to your desktop as Word, PDF and more.
• View your documents' revision history and roll back to any version.
• Invite others to share your documents by e-mail address.
• Edit documents online with whomever you choose.
• Publish documents online to the world, or to just who you choose.
• Post your documents to your blog.

This will be beneficial to students who do not have the software applications on their computers. BTW, this works better using the Firefox browser than IE. I really couldn't see the tool bar in IE (everything jumbled together). This could depend upon the resolution of the computer being used. I just received a new laptop and haven't had time to find the best resolution for me.

That's it for now. dk
