This is not another resource list you'll bookmark and never look at again. These tips, monster resources and tools will change the way you use Gmail.

"Wiki Etiquette for Students - How to act on a wiki" (2008.07.15) provides advice and suggests additional resources regarding personal safety, truthfulness, permission to post, acknowledgements, accuracy, and other issues related to online activities and collective editing.

This page displays a password to enable editing by educators, "but you need to enter the wiki invite key to associate this wiki with your account." I havn't figured out where to get one of those keys yet.

a Learning Times Network inquiry: Looking for eMentoring resources; Posted: Jun 2, 2008 10:30 PM

I bookmarked this Learning Times discussion as an initial find for a list that I'd just created in another browser Firefox browser window. However, the Add to a List interface didn't appear when I returned to the orignal window, and actually did the bookmarking. I'm wondering whether the bookmarking pop-up window will look any different when I go to the rest of tabs open to related sites, and ready for adding to the missing list.

Explains and illustrates, among other data conservation strategies, how to export posts, pages, and comments from WordPress, and suggests a simple way to download photos, but not sets, tags, or titles from Flickr.

Is there something you want to get off your chest, but there is no way you are going to create a blog just for that, and a tweet would never convey what you need conveyed? Well, if that is ever the case a visit to Freedom Share is in order. This site will enable you to have texts typed and posted without needing to create any kind of account, or even authenticate who you are via Facebook or Google. The site is free and open to just any person who wants to use it, and we are also talking about a site that can be used by people who know nothing about coding. Reviewed by Larry Ferlazzo.

Thanks to Carla A. for pointing out this rich resource collection!
