The idea of using 'clouds' to store data and having online tools available for most any project is really exciting to me. Always the one to think of the conspiracy theory behind everything I wonder what would happen if the 'cloud' burst and the data of the world starting raining down on all of us. (Yikes! Maybe someone will write a book or make a movie about that one.)
I love Google Docs, I have used it in the past for storing documents so that I can access them from everywhere. I can see how great it will be for sharing and collaborating on projects. Maybe I can get a group working on the 'Cloud Burst' book and we could write the great American novel online.
My favorite productivity tools were 'Remember the Milk' and Library Thing. I have been thinking of upgrading to a smart phone and Remember the Milk would be a great tool for use with a mobile device. I am a list maker and having all my lists in one place would really make life a bit easier. Library Thing is like going to the library in the comfort of your own home. You can search for books, get an idea of what they are about, find out what folks think about it and then decide if you want to read it or not.
Slideshare is like YouTube but with slide shows instead of movies. You can choose to get lost in time looking at slide shows that are just about anything, or you can search for ideas to help with any project you are working on.
I choose to find a slide show that will help all of you who are new to Office 07.

Wouldn't it be nice if students stored their presentations on Slideshare so that they could work on them in the lab, in the classroom or at home without having to worry about H drive space or access? Well, as long as they had Internet access anyway.
It would also be a great for presenting in the classrooms using S-Video or a projector and for teachers to view the presentations at school or home for grading.
