Great Tool for Teachers and Students! Schoolwires

Recently, I attended a meeting at our School District about changing the way we maintain, update, and change our website. We met with a rep from http://www.schoolwires.com/, a company from State College, PA that offers a variety of web tools for teachers, students, parents, administration, and the community to utilize. Schoolwires will create your website to your specifications, host the website, and enable teachers to create their own websites without having to know a line of code. Word, xhtml, FrontPage, and Dreamweaver are just a few of the tools teachers can use to create their website. In addition, teachers can upload their homework every night and include important dates on a district calendar. Blogs and wikis will be available to the students, which will open up a whole new way of learning and communicating with each other and their teachers. The entire implementation will take up to 6 months so as we progress through the design and integration, I will report on our progress and any new and exiting features that I learn about!
