One small post....
Four posts to be exact, four posts from four groups of students who today took the step from being just net consumers to net creators. The four posts that follow are the first phase results, the second will be editing and the third will be layout and presentation. They were researched and crafted all during today's computer lab.

Wikipedias Timeline Of Communication Technology shows a step by step history of how, who and when we have made the great leaps forward in communicating with each other.
