<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D'>How
many postings have suggested trying specific programs? We have had blogger.com
and edublogs, Wikispaces and pbwiki, deli.cio.us and dingo. We have had suggestions
for slide casts and screen casts (Jing). Not to mention the open source
equivalents such as Moodle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D'>To me,
these are all legitimate programs for us to be trying out and giving our
opinion to others to save them time and energy by saying “Here is one that I
like and I think it works well. Have a look at it yourself.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
