via Paul Hamilton...Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education ».... Loose Stitch is a user-friendly outlining tool that can be used in many ways to support learning. An individual can use it to record and organize researched information. Or, it can be used to help keep track of scheduled events or assigned tasks on a project. As well, Loose Stitch offers convenient ways of sharing recorded information. It has been designed to be used collaboratively by a group of people working together on the same project. I especially appreciate the ease with which Loose Stitch outlines can be embedded in wikis or blogs.
