I reckon I should run a free workshop on how to exploit some of the power behind the new google docs. I can even track the usage and views of my article or run surveys. To date, over 250 users have viewed my Netbooks vs Notebooks article and feedback is flooding in. :-)<br>
<br>If there is enough interest, I could do this next term .. perhaps offering to run it in elluminate so country teachers can join in.<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/31 Phil Brown <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pdbrown@gmail.com">pdbrown@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Some of our staff bought ASUS netbooks to keep the roll because they are lighter to carry around <br>
<br>By the way how did you generate that link to the Google doc?<br><br>Phil Brown<br>WellingtonSC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:46 PM, Roland Gesthuizen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rgesthuizen@gmail.com" target="_blank">rgesthuizen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
