PSSA Testing

It's PSSA testing time here at NEB. I'm proctoring a class of 11th grade students who are working hard on their tests. While they are working, it's giving me a chance to sit still and think about what direction of the wiki that I'm working on should take. I have one wiki for the schools' cff group and another for NEB and neighboring Towanda to share thoughts and ideas on. I'm working on another CFF Wiki through Google's Apps for Education. I'd really like to see our school use Google's Apps for Education - there are many benefits that I see:

• ease of use - any machine that can connect to the Internet can be used to access the apps
• google docs - Free, has equivalent of Word, a presentation component and components for forms, spreadsheets and more!
• email - google hosts - free
• collaboration groups - teachers can add each other, track documents, presentations and conversations that they have had - posting videos and more. Ideally, teachers and students will work together, eliminating the "need" for students to give out network passwords when assigned a group project.
• SO much More...
