Thanks Cameron. I use GoogleApps to create events for meetings and it integrates and works nicely with friends who use Outlook Exchange to share meetings etc. I create and share different Google Calendar for Timetables, Work, Professional, ICTEV, Scouts and other groups I work with. Not sure if there is much merit in students doing this though .. would like them to focus more on the learning task events that I set. I had fun using Moodle for many years and look forward to seeing how it pans out with Ultranet with the Calendar module.<div>
<div><div><br></div><div>Jarrod, a PDF document I think that is the low tech kind of thing I could be looking at for my Markbook. Anybody else using a mash of spreadsheets, dropbox or other docs for their record keeping? Somebody sent me a note that they use DreamWeaver .. Now there is a thought, run my own server on the laptop .. </div>

Multiple calendars recording the same events is fundamentally flawed imho.</div><div>Cheers</div><div>Cameron</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div class="h5"><div>On 03/02/2012, at 9:51 AM, Roland Gesthuizen wrote:</div>

<br></div><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>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>
