NECC blog 3
From 12:30-1:30 I went to one of the spotlight sessions - A Bright Idea: Shedding Light on Web 2.0 Applications which was presented by Kathy Schrock. You may know the name from Discovery Channel. She has been a staple in the education community for quite a few years and was enjoyable to hear speak. Her presentation can be found at: http://kathyschrock.net/web20/. She went through all kinds of web 2.0 programs including all of the programs that we have talked about this course. She talked about several others including pageflakes, bubbl.us, Zoho creator, slideshare, voo2do, goowy, youOS, g.ho.st, getSparc, zamzar, peepel, writeboard, skrbl, and netvibes. All kinds of completely online programs which need nothing to be installed on your machine. She also talked about Google's Docs and Spreadsheet program which is an online replacement for the Office Suite. Lots and lots of programs and info. Check them out and see if one of them works for you!

Matthew,
Thanks for the nice overview of my session!
Kathy
Thank you Matthew and Kathy. At G.ho.st, the Global Hosted Operating SysTem, we are working hard to live up to your expectations and launch a lot of new deep integrations with all the leading Web 2.0 applications between now and our beta launch in the summer. By this summer we hope that G.ho.st, together with all the third-party Web 2.0 apps, will provide a Virtual Computer on the Web which is a real alternative to Windows and Mac especially for anyone who wants to be mobile or to do personal computing at work or in a library or Internet Cafe.
