Alternative to Ultranet( which Schools Must Pay from 1 Jan 2014)
July 3rd, 2013 / / categories: news /It’s very disappointing to see the news after being told to use Ultranet for nearly 3 years.
I’ve been holding off sharing the better VLEs (Virtual Learning Environment) for a while. Now it’s time to introduce: Moodle (forum/file sharing/assessment), Mahara(socialising, e-portfolio, blogging) and Mediawiki (content-sharing and almost everything if you look harder).
Quick reply to question: Why not Facebook or Edmodo?
Facebook: off-the-limits for students.
Edmodo: if ultranet can be closed, why won’t Edmodo, so I’ll choose platforms like mediawiki or moodle.
The Victorian government’s $180 million schools IT experiment – intended to transform the way students learned – will end on December 31, with schools forced to pay if they wish to continue using the Ultranet next year.
The education department has signed a $2.8 million contract with NEC to provide the troubled school intranet for another six months to give schools time to plan for the future.

Open Sankoré | The Free Interactive Whiteboard Software
July 1st, 2013 / / categories: Uncategorized /Some teachers are interested in using smartboard-like tools but they don’t have smartboard at school so they have no access to Smart Notebook (a powerful teaching tool).
If that’s the case, you can try Open Sankore. It’s not well-known but quite okay to use.
