A Computer Question
 
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if some you can help me. I work for a chain of private schools as a teacher trainer. My company has started to expand. Recently, my boss asked me to make some kind of forum/ file share site exclusively for the teachers in my company.

We have had a lot of problems where teachers loose their lesson plan or are stuck for ideas to use in class. I want to make something where the teachers can go to dicuss their problems and exchange ideas.

I am not great with computers so something easy to set up, inexpensive and reasonably presentable will be fine. Any ideas? I am really, really struggling with this task........ And you guys always come through for me when I have a question!!!

Thanks in advance

Hi ! I would suggest starting a yahoo group where you can post information that will reach all of you , another option would be to have a blog for the group where you can upload all you want to share and anyone from the group can enrich with contributions .I personally have a blog with the teachers working with me .just go to www.blogger.com and follow the intructions .hope you can profit from my experience , hug , ana

Moodle seems like a excellent option! Thanks Damielle.

I have still to investigate further but thanks for that wonderful option. I liked the other suggestions but we need something that looks really professional. So facebook or a blogging site (Both suit our needs too) is not going to impress my ultra conservative boss in Japan... I set up a google and yahoo groups account but again presentation is everything here in japan (even if the site is perfect for our needs and fully functional)...

Wonderful answers... big hugs
