For stuff like this. Has anyone looked into Google Docs. We use it as of this year and love it a lot. It saves a lot of headaches for me on students loosing documents because they do everything right on the web. Document, presentations and spreadsheets. Saves it all to Google Servers and they take care of it. Give kids emails through them and allow our teachers to create website that are really simple. And best of all, it FREE to schools.

Been trying to create a site for the high school over the summer with Sharepoint with the addition of an application called sharepoint learning kit. This app provides the framework for a cookbook approach to making the site. Unfortunately it's open source, (with limited support from MS) and it has been a tough go. I'll be sharing it on the 22nd at the Heartland "get together", I'll gladly share it on the 24th in Ft. Dodge. This is using Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 07, Jeremy's solution is much cheaper (free) which is referred to as wss 3.0 and as he said, is a service that you can enable from the server features. I think both provide the ability to run SCORM packages. (In Theory.) Well, After many "redos" of building the server from scratch, I'm at the point of adding data bases for additional pages. Each student will have their own webpages which will reflect class assignments, documents for class, dropbox. One of the key components is the ability to run SCORM packages made by authoring tools. This would allow the student to take online assignments (multiple choice, matching, short essay, besides other methods) and submit them. I have a very limited "web" background, so those of you that have messed with these things before, should have an easier go at it. It's similar to moodle. Enough, have a good evening.

Hi, Is anyone using sharepoint for teachers website/posting documents, etc.? Some of our staff members are asking for sharepoint type abilities to post documents, etc. Do you have a link to a teachers site that does a good job with it that you can send me? Thanks for any suggestions/advice. Needs to be very easy to use with little or no HTML coding, etc. Thanks! ----- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm. Schools 204 W.
