I have to admit, when Wikis became popular, Or rather, they were being first introduced. They seemed really cool! But, of course, version 1.0 of wikis were incredibly hard to manage. Granted, they have changed dramatically-so I’ll just have to bite the bullet and get into it. And play with it and pray for something new.

The laptop-well, I have been eyeing the new MacBook Air… grins Actually, even tho it is a slower proc, non-upgradeable memory, limited ports, yadda yadda yadda… It does do what I need. A light laptop,(I carried a 12 lb laptop through college-Im done with that) that can hold all my apps and I CAN work on them at school and print off on my printer (I was lucky to get my own printer) Yet, I cannot access the net.

I do own a wacom tablet and could do all my notes that way, but then its a learning curve on note taking. And this destroys my use of the elmo. :( A tablet computer sounds like a good idea-but I don’t know which one. I’m also leery of such things as most people don’t find them that useful for note taking. Drawing, painting, and graphics-great. Note-taking. Lukewarm (at least, that is my impression)

Of course, the other reason I do pdfs are because the students will be using macs or pcs. And in some households, linux. (We have Linus Torvald working in our city… Imagine the kind of parents I work with! :D)
