1to+software+wish+list

So what software have you been thinking of for these tablets? Of course there is the standard suite of MS software or its OpenOffice equivilent, but beyond that what applications are you considering? What about web based tools? While many students cannot access them at home they sure can be used at school. There are some really cool ones out there. What about titles that are exclusively for the teacher or subscription services such as Achieve3000 or MyAccess? Can anyone think of some? Please add your software name and possible uses to the short list that I have started. Click "Edit This Page" to let your thoughts be known and feel free to comment on the list I have started.

-- Nice list, these are a few of my favorite things. ;-) For an even longer list and to download a CDrom image of the install files see the Oregon 1:1 site on the ORVSD at: http://courses.orvsd.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=2024 -- Paul

 * **[|del.icio.us]** - social bookmarking. For creating bookmarks for students to access and add to. No more surfing on google for sites.
 * **[|edu.blogs.org]** - free and safe blogging tool for teachers. See their learner blog feature for students. A great way to
 * **wikispaces** (this site) - for creating collaborative classroom projects.
 * **[|Google Homepage]** - a great way to create your own homepage with the content you want but it also has an RSS aggregator which would come in handy for monitoring blogs.

=__**Subscription Services**__= >
 * [|My Access] from Vantage - this online service allows students to submit writing pieces which are then scored. Seems too good to be true. Think about the time the teacher saves in correcting and can then spend on feedback.
 * [|OSLIS] is free from the state, yet a great research tool
 * [|Tapped-in] - I was there today looking at it. A teacher from Forest Grove chatted with me and showed me his daughter 2nd grade class section. It seems to be a portal for teachers to use. I'd sure like some others to look it over. It seemed quite busy but that was just my impression.
