  • Two trends in the world of technology are making a big splash in education: web applications and netbooks.
  • Simple Spark, a directory for web applications, has over 9,900 web apps listed. Besides looking there, check out the list of links to the right. These are web applications I've recently bookmarked. Click here to see my complete list.
  • Advantages to using netbooks in schools is that they are about the size of a hardcover book, easily fitting into a backpack. Would-be thieves can't tell a netbook is in a bag, unlike when students tote around laptop bags. Because netbooks are so small, they can have a place on a desk along with a textbook. Additionally, netbooks tend to have quick boot-up times, taking just 20 seconds to power on.

  • A netbook is a laptop with a shrunken screen, an undersize keyboard and a processor that’s so slow, you’d have laughed at it in 2007. The netbooks’ crucial attractions are tiny dimensions, light weight and low cost, usually $350 to $500. Otherwise, they’re all about compromises.
  • In general, these four have identical specs: Windows XP ;1 gigabyte of memory; 1.6-gigahertz Intel Atom processor; 160-gigabyte hard drive; Wi-Fi wireless; 3 U.S.B. jacks; a webcam above the screen; video output and Ethernet jacks; and a memory-card slot.

    "Which netbook has the better battery life?" It's a question I haven't heard too often but it's one you should be asking yourself when you're about to buy a netbook. The term "netbook" is being thrown about a lot but it doesn't mean the same thing for battery life.

    Great comparison of netbook to iPod Touch for classroom use.

    If I were given the choice in what kind of devices to get for my classroom, it would be an easy one. Since I'd want my students to blog, contribute to a wiki, create podcasts, and edit video, my choice would have to be netbooks. But, I'd want netbooks with plenty of memory and a larger screen. The current netbooks that are priced similarly to the iPod touch are underpowered and their 7 inch screen makes them annoying to use.

    This lightweight image editor takes two seconds to download, and an even shorter time to start up. No pesky splash screens! It even runs as a portable app. Now it goes to say that it's definitely not going to be as powerful as Photoshop or even GiMP. Well, we're working on a small screen, what else do you need? But if you need quick and easy photo editing on the fly, Fotografix would work perfectly.
