Using Backpack for Taking Notes.

Pagini has some interesting ideas about how to use Backpack for note-taking in the classroom. I've used a similar technique for taking meeting notes. You can instantly publish them as a Public page in Backpack, or simply cut-and-paste into Basecamp.

A few of us at User Experience Week 2005 were rapidly inputting notes into Backpack. The only issue we all found is that if you don't save your notes before clicking to another site, you lose everything.

Lessons learned, I suppose.

However, the benefits far outweigh this little behavior change.
