4.1. M Kennedy: I noticed on their website that Google Apps integration will be coming soon. This seems like an amazing collaboration tool and adding such a strong set of tools like Google Apps will only make this better. Security seems top notch on this, providing the teacher piece of mind that their content and students are safe.
4.2. W.Schumacher- This looks like a great resource for the classroom, and I think it would be a great tool for student portfolios. The privacy controls make this a secure tool that allows student work to only be viewed by those that are authorized. Great find!
