Okay, now the teacher in me is challenging the tech geek within . . . and the teacher side has me stumped. Drupal was the perfect way for our school district to create and group edit our course curriculum maps. The book module is great for managing this collaborative effort where teachers can comment on the map and school curriculum specialists can make adjustments dynamically based on the comments. Of course I always want more to make the process more in line with our needs . . . thus the tech question. Is their a way to select from alternate forms when "Adding a child" page to the book? It would be nice to mix forms within the book pages that meet specific purposes. For instance have a choice between adding a page for instructional activities or another page (different form) for adding assessments . . . all nested within the context of the grade 7 math map. Thanks!

CCK/Pageroute
You can use CCK to create different content types -- you could also use the pageroute module to create a specific format for your maps --

CCK is awesome!
Thanks Bill . . . for both monitoring this conversation area as well as making this distribution. There is so much that can be done with Drupal for Education.
I have been using CCK to customize the pages for the book (now renamed curriulum map). I have included fields for standards, resources, assessments, etc. What I would like to do is have is the link at the bottom for "Add child page" bring up a selection of other possible forms so I can make a specific form for activities and one for resources and one for assessments . . . all made with different fields that meet the need for that form type. I have discovered that creating a new story allows you to place it under the proper parent page in the book but it may need to be much simpler for students.
Anyway, a dynamic selection drop list where they could choose a custom form as the child page would be great. Is this what pageroute does? Any other thoughts?
