I add GoogleApps to my list of recommended free tools, and I needed to know how the tools work. I am teaching an online course, where the students are to select their own tools, so this is just part of my research process. <br /><br />I agree about the need for tools to manage the repository, and I wrote about the research being done at Stanford on a database to help use keep track of evidence stored in Web 2.0-based sites across the social web. For this class, I am encouraging the students to look at DropBox as a space to store their work. There is a way to address any file in the Public Folder in DropBox. Very interesting. Will do another blog entry about it soon.eportfolioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480417030020178949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079154.post-40114761309302156592011-03-18T17:14:00.796-07:002011-03-18T17:14:00.796-07:00I like the clean look of the Weebly version of yo...I like the clean look of the Weebly version of your eportfolio but wonder about yet another two hours (probably more) testing yet another potential eportfolio solution. We might be in danger of drowning in a multitude of solutions to stop us drowning in solutions and spending time on expoloring the various exciting possibilities to manage the repository at the expense of the process and content. I finally hitched my own petard to wordpress having tried quite a few approaches and think the arguments for using it are compelling.<br />alanshort@mac.com<br />www.250credits.commetacognitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934360434265805614noreply@blogger.com
