Google Document has been the high school librarians' newest achievement. We created two documents. Each person added and edited through their google account. It was a great way to save time working together on the same document rather than sending things back and forth through email. I'd like to see if teachers could think of a collabortive student group project using Google documents. Maybe our newspaper students could try it out, too.
Camino web browser is new and ready for exploration. They do have a warning about a serious disruption with your Firefox browser. So pay attention to their page: http://caminobrowser.org/documetation/firefox/
Important to read before diving in!
We have a serious virus that affects our students' Word documents. We are encouraging students and teachers to use iwork 08. It is a new publishing tool replacing Appleworks. The students can create amazing brochures with beautiful images. It is worth checking out. Those of you with new laptops can find it in your applications.
We tend to use the things we've been using in the past and are comfortable with. But if you take the time to look in your application folder on your new computers you'll find some new technology adventures. I can't believe I didn't even think to look in the file the minute I received the laptop! I continued using the same old, same old. I'm ashamed of my narrow mind and lack of adventure.....

Congratulations on exploring Google's applications and the new browser! There's such a wealth of material out there that it's hard to keep up, but give yourself credit for working on it!
