Ubuntu 11.04

It looks like Canonical has released the Beta1 version of Ubuntu 11.04  I'm going to install it, and give it a shot. As a matter of fact, it's fetching and installing even as I type so this post will probably be in 2 parts.  In addition, I've got some really neat technology things happening at work right now.  I'm going to start the process of interacting with my students over the  educational social-networking site, Edmodo.   Edmodo is in use in our district now by some teachers and students, and our high school staff.  I created my own group and will be posting music in Edmodo, and having my students do some critical listening and critical thinking, and some responses as well.  I think it will be handy for me, and educational for them.  Anyway, between that, Dropbox, and Google Calendar, there are some really neat things I'm using, all with my iPod touch, just to make life easier for me and my students and to broaden the conversation.  We'll see if it works.  I'll be back later for an update on my Ubuntu 11.04.  If all does NOT go well, I may be back via my Windows OS.  Wish me luck!
