Google/ EVEN MORE APPS

I think that for the most part all these tools (calendar,knol,picasa, and igoogle) could be applicable in a class.

The calendar is just in general a good way to keep a schedule and make people and yourself aware of dates and times coming up.

Knol would be a good way for students to look up info and or to express info the know, as an evaluation. The teacher could then check their posts for accuracy.

Picasa would allow you to save, view and use photos in the class. It seems alot like flickr, but through google.

igoogle, is a great application, but I really only see it as being useful for the user or the teacher. Relaying the information the teacher the information they want on there google homepage. Again I like it alot especially how customizable it is, just not sure about applying it in a class. 

Maybe somebody else has some tips or possibilities?

Wiki Wiki What?

I think that it's interesting that for the most part people can add information at will and thus create a fast easy tool for information. Although there is one fact that people need to consider, the information could be bad or false. That is the one drawback I see for students using wiki apps as resources. 

I think that these sites although mostly credible should not be used as resources. But Most of them have bibliographies which will supply the information that students may want to use. So it is a good source for finding references.

I edited this post just to be funny. So I put in a random false tidbit about an upcoming movie :).
