Thanks Rob, would it have helped if you had a robust online system for recording events and reflections with a 1:1 deployment system?

I must admit I also forgot to put my name down for a teacher chronicle so I need to think fast and perhaps go digital come 2012 with something on my iPhone or iPad this year (suggestions welcome)

Our school gave up paper diaries last year. There were many problems and as such, we gave diaries out again during the year.

I can't remember the many problems encountered.

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

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 ..

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.

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.

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.

Brave and exciting world. :-)

Welcome to 2012

Regards Roland
