Well my 2cents, we have created a Google Domain this year and we are
trying out a centralised calendar that can be synched out to
Outlook, Thunderbird or Entourage(?) automatically by subscription.
So far so good and is restricted to just those members of the domain
to edit and you can display in various ways to allow for some
privacy censorship by grouping you users. Plus it give you all the
Google apps and full admin control over their use. So far so good
and it looks very promising. I don't think we'll be ditching paper
diaries anytime soon though.<br>

No, I guess that students would need to copy over and update all
the dates or staff would need to verbally direct that they enter
them into their exchange calendar.

<div>Anne, I have had some luck with the help desk getting answers
to technical questions and the online support pages (last icon,
second option from the bottom). It does look like that there
have been some big improvements with the Ultranet system over
the Nov and Jan update cycle with the aims to improve
integration and parent / student communication.</div>

<div>Roland - do you know if the intention is that Ultranet
calendar events would be pushed automatically to the
studnets Exchange calendars? Or would they run as
independent calendars?</div>

<div>Apologies that the scope of this email is for
Vic State Schools. I am still interested in your
feedback. I was pleased to hear that our school
has made the brave decision to go move forward and
not issues paper student diaries. Just announced
by the year level coordinator and some pleasing
smiles by the students. Interesting ..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was interested to see in the Ultranet, the
deep integration with the calendar / events for
organising and scheduling events. That is, when an
assessment or learning task is created then it
propagates the Ultranet student calendar with
start and finish event dates. Importantly, it does
the same for the Ultranet parent calendar and
dynamically updates itself as tasks are modified
by the teacher. Another colleague just noted that
using their Ultranet ePortfolio (explore space)
would have some further interesting applications
for reflective blogging about work and event
recording.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>I was surprised to hear yesterday that
instead, consideration is being given to
quickly deploy MS Outlook 2010 on all the
student netbooks from year 7 to 12 (along with
associated training and mandated use). I am
unsure how fast or effective this will be, or
if this is really practical considering the
benefits of the Ultranet for a larger audience
of parents and students.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like some feedback from other users
of the Ultranet calendar system, especially in
relation to how this compares with an MS Outlook
Exchange based client system on student
netbooks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Brave and exciting world. :-)</div>
