Mike Madison asks:  What technologies — if any — should every law professor be expected to know and use competently in 2007? Here’s a preliminary, incomplete list of possible candidates:

• Reading/writing basics: Office suite (MS Office, OpenOffice — pick one or some other) (text editor, slideware, spreadsheet, database, HTML editor)
• Communications/publishing/group work basics: Email, IM, blogware, groupware (such as Groove)
• Scholarship tools: Bibliographic software, statistics software
• Virtual worlds technologies
• Peer-to-peer tools
