Writely

Here's the way of the future. I am writing this on Writely.

I am so excited about this... here's why.

My department got one of those laptop carts. So we have 35 laptops but my boss decided to keep them in a room - hence the "Wireless Lab" was born.

So we have 35 new laptops... a wireless internet connection... and that's it. So if 30 of my kids write 30 word documents... what is a teacher to do? I can't even have them put it on a disk, because these new computers don't have disk drives anymore. This makes life with computers, (which is supposed to be freeing...) extremely limiting.





Enter Writely. Writely is an online word processor. And (right now and hopefully forever) it is free. I can have kids write, collaborate and print and save etc. So they don't always have to go on the same computer, they can work from home, etc.

Thank you Writely. Please don't change. My kids in the Bronx need it.
