Creative Learning Forum

One of the features of the new website is a Creative Learning Forum. The idea is to stimulate discussion about creative learning from visitors to the site. I've posted a couple of discussion topics but I need some help to get the ball rolling (and to check that the forum form works) so it would be great if you could head over there and leave a comment or two. If you're feeling up to it you might even want to start a discussion of your very own. Remember, the site is intended to be about creative learning generally as well as what's happening at Tallis.

iWork and iWork.com

Mr Nicholls, Mr Murray and Myself have been experimenting with iWork as a way of collaborating and developing projects. Basically iWork.com beta allows for you to upload a Pages, Keynote, or Numbers document to a virtual site where people can comment and annotate your ideas. So if you put together a draft Pages document you can get interested parties to leave stickies with comments to help you move your ideas on, or you can leave a "note' on the idea and this feedback is collated so you have a history of responses and comments.

Could this be an effective way for us to collaborate on our summer project? Could staff share an outline of their teaching plans and invite students to have some input on how a topic might be taught, or the different options for students to share their learning? Could it be an effective way for the school council to share their plans and get feedback?
