Chris Jones found an interesting online publication called Sidebars.
The home page is at: http://online.bcit.ca/sidebars/index.htm
This month's issue about learning communities is at:
http://online.bcit.ca/sidebars/current/index.htm

Chris comments "I thought it was interesting because the theme of the current issue
is Learning Communities. Articles and resources cover a wide range of
communities of online learners, from informally-organized groups to
formal networks of educational institutions. It is published by the
Learning Resources Unit of the British Columbia Institute of
Technology."

It has been completely rewritten from scratch over the last two years. The focus of the Alice project is now to provide the best possible first exposure to programming for students ranging from middle schoolers to college students."

Watch time pass you by here

PrintKey is a great utility - when you press ptrscr it opens an interface that lets you crop and easily save
better than pasting to another application, got to try it to see what I mean
I'm using v5.10full of PrintKey2000. On the About splash screen is says "Free use for an individual or company"
But if you visit the website http://www.geocities.com/~gigaman you are offered "Version 1.03 ( 04 Dec 2001 ) For Win95, Win98, NT4.0, Windows2000, WindowsME, WindowsXP FREE 30 Day Trial Full Feature V1.03" from http://www.warecentral.com/ with a $19.95 charge thereafter.

An equally amazing program (I am told) is Gadwin http://www.gadwin.com
PrintScreen http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/
