we are looking into this as a possibility, at least for the students.
THe big question I have is how do you archive those emails for legal
purposes?

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things

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.

Subject: RE: [info-tech] Teacher Websites/Sharepoint?
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.

Tim-
We use SharePoint here, free with Windows Server.
Anyway, here is a link to one of our teachers who use it the most:

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!
