IT History presentations

Ok, first of all woooosaaaaa...after this class!

Webspiration tool.

This is one of the tools, I used during my summer class, and I have to admit...it was very useful. It gives you the power to create charts, diagrams, and other amazing outlining utilities, while you collaborate live with your co-workers, or students. Definitely a "must" tool for everyone in the class.
