and clucnky clunky a while ago. I know I should have checked before publishing this. Maybe someone will beat me to it? Or suggest some more? Just thought of some LSN ITQ stuff - oops, how could I forget that! Link will be added to the More section soon.
Checked now and not impressed with disappearing original links. Anyway, I've located the courseware again here There's a lot there but I wonder if it's running out of steam? Pity, because there is a real need for a non-Microsoft course.
And here are the LSN tutorials. Not sure how long I'll feature these as some are very out-of-date and, of course, regrettably Microsoft-driven. Shame. In fact I may delete them quite soon.

So I thought I'd have a look at some alternative ways of doing the basics which might be enough both to keep students happy and even impress inspectors or colleagues.

Firstly, many thanks to thepbwiki team for some great improvements. As well as making it much easier for you to add your own comments, they have alsoprovided a free upgrade to their Gold version whichhas lots of space, gets backed up and has lots of new features.
fact, on GoogleNotes and Labpixies for example, you now have several ways to type on a web page which would have been virtually impossible a short while ago! It's quite amazing how things are changing. If you have just dropped by then you can get to the individual tool pages from the menu on the right too. Click the SideBar tab if it's not already showing.
Hopefully you'll also get some inspiration on the way and come up with some bright ideas of your own for using some of the tools. Feel free to add a page with news of what you do. The SandBox page is a place to play - content theredoesn't get saved for long.
