Last week I suggested students to put their papers on google docs so I could comment on the work before they handed in, to which the general response was "google what"?

This seems to correlate with the lack of awareness of RSS in my experience.

Heh...wasn't meant to be...was just meant to be a joke...
- David Bradley
My son's (average, nothing particularly special) high school has it's own Google system, so he knows all about Google Docs, maybe his is the generation that won't balk at the idea Kubke.

I asked my cheminfo retrieval class how many blogged and was disappointed that got 0/30. Most of them had never edited a wiki either.

I gave one of my Google Wave invites to my son... he's in primary school. At about the age I started programming BASIC on the Spectravideo SV-328... I hope he will write his own robot :)
- Egon Willighagen
I'm sure he will Egon. My daughter's final report from pre-school mentioned "good mouse control" and I assume they weren't talking murine hypnotism...

I got slated on a list when I told a bunch of science and technology journalists that we shouldn't be wasting each others' time regurgitating the Twitter FAQ on the list when someone wanted handholding through the registration procedure...you wouldn't expect a cookery list to explain how to use a knife would you or a carpentry list to explain what a chisel is?
- David Bradley
I wish I get a gen of students like your son David!
- Kubke
I think it's Egon's son who is going to be the "waving" pioneer. Still waiting for my official Wave invite...maybe they just don't want too many journos hacking at it...
