Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Thing 15-Cloud Tools

I have used google docs before but it was fun to see how you could have public documents like the spreadsheet that you put out for us. This is something to consider with group assignments in the future. I also spend some time checking out the other recommended site skydive. I am thinking that this would be a useful tool for students. I think students use a zip drive not working as an excuse for not getting their work done. Now if they are all required to have an account such as skydive then that can never be an excuse. I think this is something that I might require all students to use. I require them to post on blogger so they all have to have a google account so then they will all have google docs so this might be a helpful tool for the school year.

We agree! Thinking about creating a blog along the lines of 10 things NHS students need to know and including "how tos" for a number of things including google docs or windows live skydrive.

For Thing 15, you need to add your information to the spreadsheet that we shared with you in google docs. I don't see any information in your column (it's on p.2 of the spreadsheet)

I did and saved it, I went back and checked so it should be there. If not fire me off an email
