In conlusion

I liked the tools that were presented. I will definitely use some of them. I now use delicious for my bookmarks and iGoogle is my new home page. I am moving away from the need to have a single computer solution. The space between work computer and home home computer is starting to blur. I think this is a good thing.

Not to be negative - I can really see a use for these tools. But it seems to be a right hand/left hand sort of thing. From my perspective - here is a great new thing, but you can't use it or you can only use part of it. It is very frustrating!

Wikispaces

Today I signed up for Wikispaces. I am going to have my students write their own text book on this wiki. I am looking for a very good template to ge me started.
