Don't Forget
A very important component to include in the design/editing/creating part of a web-page is the "save" button. I was 3/4 of the way finished with my WebQuest when all of the sudden the connection to Nvu was lost and all my work disappeared. It had been quite some time since I had last clicked "save" therefore I had to start from practically scratch. It had been awhile since I was that upset. Anyway, as in Microsoft Word I believe it is already built in that "auto-save" is already programmed in. So should Nvu and the others. Every minute or so would be nice for it to happen on its on. Technology is great as long as things don't disappear right before your very eyes. I perceive hinderances like this will always be around causing for frustration to occur in all types of students. Kindergarten or Grad alike. Kuddos to the auto-save inventor guy or gal.

What's to come
I think that it's just a matter of time before textbooks in school become obsolete. All printed material will be "Kendallized" or some such fashion. Kids of tomorrow (or maybe even by this afternoon) will just have to bring their clipboard size tablets to school and be able to open up/tune in/turn to which ever page/book/subject is being taught. No more stuffed up messy desks. No more lugging home a back-pack full of books. I wish I could be a part of that. I'm trying to figure that out.
