Does FERPA ban schools from allowing students to post their schoolwork on the open Web? Yesterday, Georgia Tech deleted all student history and participation from the school's "Swikis," the wikis that students use for their coursework. Georgia Tech has been using wikis for this purpose since 1997, pioneering the usage of the collaborative tools for undergraduate education.

You could, should you choose, remain in a wiki for a class you'd taken previously, for example.

Also, it's ideal for taking notes, interacting w/ web (no phone is actually needed), etc etc.
