Very timely as our school is just venturing, conservatively down this track. As a primary school we are taking our time and introducing the online community very gently with class blogs. This seems the natural path to let teachers get the feel of Web 2.0 before we launch into student blogging. Primary schools seem to approach things collectively so we have to bring other teachers along for the journey when we want to introduce new ideas. So it is not just a matter of inviting parents but our peers as well. Thanks again for this comprehensive blog which i will be using personally and with my staff.
