I was driving up to Lake Okoboji area to meet my wife and children (they were vacationing, I was working) and used the time to catch up on podcasts. I listened to the July 7th podcast from Lullabot and found out about the Iowa group. I have just started incorporating Drupal as an integral part of our web presense at Pella Community Schools. I am a relative newbie to Drupal and am very excited to have people in Iowa to network with about Drupal and open source in general. Not to mention the podcast is very informative.
Our main site is Zope (http://www.pella.k12.ia.us) and I am in the process of porting our grade level (elementary) and department sites (middle school & high school) to Drupal. I am also playing with Elgg and we have been using Moodle for 3 years now.
Any suggestions and ideas on integrating Drupal into an educational setting would be appreciated.
