Delicious
I can not say for sure whether or not I will ever use this website. I can however say that right now I do not use it. It is very useful, if you blog though. For people liek me that do not the site does not have all that much to offer. The site is very big and I noticed that in the upload clicker it had 249 in the last hour which is great. It has a lot to sift through and decide which one you would like to use. Just maybe not for me.

Spreadsheet
I felt that spreadsheet was very helpful. Though it would take some time to learn how to use it fast and to its full potential. In the classroom it could be used to make a schedule both for the teacher and for the students. So that they know what they will be working on for that day and if they missed would know what they need to ask about. As far as for your grade book it makes it so much easier to do calculations. The formulas already programed in would help out so much, so the teacher can spend their time doing more useful things then adding up grades. I would use it like I said in the classroom because it could help out and save time for me to work on other things. Since the computer can do grades more precisely it makes more official when entering in the grades of a student which is very important.

Inspiration
I found insperation to very great program. I had never seen or even heard of it. Just by watching the tour video anyone can see how helpful this program can be to either students or teachers. It would make so many thing easier. Rather than having to make a syllibus in outline form and then type other things up, the program saves you time by developing all of them at once. So it could save so much time when making lesson plans.
For a student having to write a paper this is very helpful. It has the "rapid fire" option to where they can brame storm and typing things up very quickly while just hitting enter starts a whole new thought. It could help in ever aspect. Just as I mentioned in the first paragraph the fact that this one program takes care of so much of a project is amazing. Students would not have to struggle so much with an outline when it takes care of it for them. As far as peer feedback that is why we are learning how to do a blog since it makes a easy way of communicating back and forth. Technology is here to benefit us and really in any aspect of work make it easier and much faster. Though writing is important, emails and blogs are much eaiser and faster. Like you said time is very important in teaching and any technology advances help.
