For example, you have found a lesson plan in .pdf format, but you would like it to be in Word format so you could edit it? You can convert most file formats by submitting them to an online site where they will be converted. When completed an email will be sent to you saying that the file will remain on their server for 1 day. You can click on the link provided to save the file on to your computer. Pretty simple!<br /><br />Try it out for yourself at <a href="http://www.zamzar.com">http://www.zamzar.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24669384-8885678893419612152?l=bpsdswamp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>swampguynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24669384.post-17368499550146599422008-11-06T14:26:00.000-08:002008-11-06T14:31:51.709-08:00<span style="font-family: arial;">We have heard a lot about blogs and a lot about wikis.

There was a time not long ago that the experts thought a computer soon would cost next to nothing, but we would pay for access to the web. In reality, computers are still quite pricey however the cost of software to a school division has greatly decreased due to availability of free applications on the Internet. Some applications are downloaded on to your computer like open office. Others are web applications that you can read and write to.
