I haven't seen First Class. Naturally I'd like to know who to write to to get a demo copy, but I'd like to ask the people on this list some more personal questions: 1. What, exactly, does it do? What combinations of word processing, local-area email, conferencing etc does it have? 2. In what way is it better than a standard word processor plus regular e-mail? Ease of use, or is there more? 3. Most important--what do you find most pedagogically useful about it? Obviously you use it in a process classroom to ship drafts around and such, but I'd be interested in a more detailed picture of how the thing works pedagogically. Can somebody walk me through a few days or weeks of a typical First Class class and help me follow the life cycle of a document as augmented by F.C.? I'm trying to get a real mental picture here. Thanks. Doug Brent
