Cloud computing, web 2.0, and you

Recently, I've come across so many cool links, I just had to share them.  The evolving concept of "cloud computing" is changing the way we teach and learn.  Does that create a "digital divide"?  Well, yes.  But, at NCHS, we do our best to provide access to computers and the Internet as much as possible.  PVLearners is yours to use.  Use it.  If you want help with any of it, we'll help.  Some of the links below will open as a Google doc.  If you sign in to pvLearners before you open the links, you will be able to save the doc in your own Google docs for easy access later.  See if you like any of these ideas:
