Drupal Education

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?

I'm starting up a Website Construction Class in New York City that will encompass drupal as the CMS that is taught. The goal of the class isn't to teach all things inter-web, rather to teach one way that works for small business & where to find more information about other ways. More details at http://www.treslerdesigns.com/class

A few questions to the list/group here:

1) Do you feel the prices are fair for what is being offered? This is the first time doing this, and I know value is relative, I'm just looking for opinions on this. I'm basing the class price off my normal site development hourly (each student will take away a functional, live website from the class), and others in the drupal/website education field.

Hi,
I'm writing to guage interest in a New York City Drupal Beginners2Admins Class. Also, if interest exists, what people would like for it to cover. Basically, I have a small core of clients that want to pay me to take them from basic HTML to deploying and managing an online store with Drupal.
I've been tossing around class structure in my head, and I'm thinking about one class a week for three hours - probably on the weekends. Everyone in the class will be developing a site real-time as the class progresses. The final class will (hopefully) be launch for everyone participating, and a new group of drupal admins.
