I'm setting up a new web 2.0 "cloud computing" science course for Fall, 2008 on Natural Disasters using free, collaborative software (pbwiki). This software lets groups of students collaborate on wikis in real time, online, from any location. They can also upload documents, images, etc., and link to them from the wiki. Pbwiki doesn't require an e-mail address if the teacher sets up the accounts, and each small group of students gets their own wiki, which cannot be accessed by anyone but them and me. Once they are finished, they can then post the wiki like a website portfolio on the Internet for all to see (with their parent's permission). Powerful stuff! :) I am also migrating away from Frontpage (which has been constant trouble for me for years as it's file extensions are always corrupting and crashing the sites), to new web software. After trying Google Docs, Zoho, OpenOffice, Word, etc., for about a year and a half I have been using the free PageBreeze, which is a simple WYSIWYG html editor. It has never crashed a site yet. Along with the freeware version of Syncback (my super ftp client), I have everything I need to create and manage the sites at my domain, all free. I'm happy to say that I really like Pagebreeze so far. It creates simple, quick code. Sometimes less is more. Please stop back soon to see how things shape up! Currently, my personal site Dan's is down. You'll also notice that Earthling and Studio have lost much of their depth temporarily. I appreciate your patience while I migrate to new software and revamp the sites.
