Drupal Training for Educators
Hello, all,
On January 31 and February 1, I'll be running a two day training on using Drupal in the classroom. The training will be held in Philadelphia, at Science Leadership Academy.
So, if you're around Philadelphia and want to dig into using Drupal, come on down! These sessions are geared toward end users, as opposed to developers or site admins. The emphasis will be on training educators how to use Drupal in an online class or a blended learning environment.

On the basis of some of the comments in this thread, here are some thoughts about a first iteration:
All development here assumes development in 5.0 -- this means that some of the modules will need to be updated to 5.0 if they are not already there.
There are three types of functionality to consider for the initial distribution:
- The public facing school web site
- Classes; ie, the classes of an entire school in a single install
- Student and teacher work areas -- this can be considered a PLE, but it will allow the learner-controlled space to exist alongside the more structured course area.
What are the initial goals? The long term goals?
Hello, all,
I'm putting down some quick ideas here to start getting feedback --
A distribution for Education will mean different things to different people: a set of tools to support classroom blogging, a set of tools to support teacher professional development, a set of tools to allow a school to track student progress (aka a SIS), a public-facing school web site, an internal teacher professional development site, a personal learning space (the PLE), to say nothing of the library sites, the LMS's, etc, etc, etc.
Drupal can do all of these things well -- some with existing modules, where others will require development. The question is, where do we want to start?
