I mentioned to you at the time that I was writing a paper on middle school technology, asked if I could e-mail you with some questions. I apologize for not following through with that, but I would like to thank you for your very entertaining and informative class. I will be able to use some of the ideas you have on this blog, however, so thank you very much for posting them (I particularly like the idea about commentaries over a piece. The process that students use when composing is very interesting). Again, thank you for your lecture at U of I, and for your great work in middle school technology!

Ning seems quite useful, again worth comparing to CMS/LMS tools such as WebCT/Blackboard. It seems quite easy to use compared to the commercial CMS's, still containing many of the needed properties. BUT schools should invest on the 20$ upgrade to avoid the ads: I received ads on getting a philippine bride and looking at pictures of goth girls! Miikka Thank you Alex for the links!
