Thinkfree Has Portfolios

Thinkfree, an online document production and sharing tool, now has portfolio construction capabilities. I’m excited that this is another online “office” like tool that students can use without purchasing MS Office. I’ve been running my eng102, second semester FYC, courses in Google Docs this summer. I’m thinking I might try running my eng111, technical writing, in Think Free. Ultimately these types of sharing programs are what my students’ future employers are more likely to use. I’ll be presenting and writing up the results of the Google Docs test run later this summer and fall. As of now, I like it! It takes my students a while to catch on; however, a five week summer session is ugly no matter what.
