Ultranet+at+LatS

Russell went to a session run by Daniel Wilson, DP of Manurewa High School. It was interesting, particularly the use made by the College of FaceBook. They say this is a very popular part of their web presence. The school has three points of access:
 * 1) A web site which primarily focuses on the public face of the school, the skite points, the administrative interface, and a feel for the school overall.
 * 2) Ultranet which focuses on the daily activity, the classroom links, timetable/attendance/activty information, resources, etc. It is essentially another classroom interface. They have attempted to get parents linking in but are experiencing a number of difficulties: Ultranet difficulties.
 * 3) FaceBook, which is largely used by ex-pupils and people with an interest in the school. It is controlled by the school and entries to it are vetted.

I have some notes taken on the day which are included in the Word file attached, and I have some handouts that I'll share with you if you are interested. Cheers Russell.
