Lab Manual Update

I completed all of the FA15 versions yesterday.  These are annotated versions where changes are highlighted in blue.  Wherever the change is not onvious, I have written comments and also questions.

What I have incorporated so far into these versions include:
the comments I have received so far from other instructors (Rob, Bev, and Anthony)
Corrections and suggestions from my own personal notes
Prep notes from Gerry incorporating any changes in either chemicals, equipment, or amount used and steps removed
Changing every instance of demineralized to deionized
Removing references to disposing down the drain
Addition of using one of the fume hoods  and removing any references to individual fume hoods
Adding new pictures of equipment and new instructions
Basic spell and grammar check
Autopagination

At this point, I am trying to figure out the best way to post these so that other instructors can start reviewing them.  Some of the options are:
Some form of wiki platform.  This may not be free.
Blackboard.  I am not sure if there is a way to post these that allows comments to be posted.
Google drive.  Free but I am still learning how to to use this.

From this point on, I will be working on the following:
Trying out 2-3 labs that may be needed to either replace or improve current labs
Incorporating more changes and suggestions from comments from other instructors as they come
Gerry's responses to some questions I will be posting about chemical and equipment use
Awaiting responses and comments after review
