Hi Mitchell. I wanted to use a CMS, but I don't think it will happen in 2011. So we will use Dreamweaver again - and Photoshop to simulate functionality.<br><br>And your site can use more than one of the tools listed - I can't imagine a genuine online community using only (say) a blog and <i>nothing</i> else! My kids will pick and choose tools depending on the needs of the community.<br>
<br>And remember as Warrick has already said, it's a prototype so full functionality is <b>not</b> required. It just should <b>look</b> like a site the community could use to achieve its aims. So you can mockup things like forums, IM, logins etc. The kids are not really being assessed on their website creation skills as much as on their understanding of the needs and tools of online communities.<br>
<br>Cheers<br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 December 2010 11:27, Elliot, Mitchell E <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elliot.mitchell.e@edumail.vic.gov.au">elliot.mitchell.e@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>
