What do we need to do in order to better equip our students to become true leaders in a "flat world" that has both exciting opportunities and challenges at every turn?
Matt Montagne replied to Dana Smith's discussion Moodle v. Haiku in the group Moodle Users and Admins
"Another proprietary platform that we're investigating for a potential LMS is Schoology. It is sorta like Moodle, but with a heavy emphasis on the social component. It's an intriguing piece of software, but I worry that it will end up as a…"

"Almost 6 months since I started this discussion. We went with Haiku and are very happy. Grades 7-12 are using it for all their classes for information exchange and as homework pages for parents to follow. Some teachers are testing…"

"My 2 cents--
We did a pilot with Haiku and two teachers last spring. We committed to purchase this summer.
This year was supposed to be our year of running Haiku and our old (awful) system side by side. The goal was that by January all…"

There are interesting conversations going on about curriculum mapping. Here's my favorite quote: "ur KIDS know our schools' curricula better than any of us grown-ups, too. Rather, too many of us are too preoccupied w/ our respective silos & areas of particular expertise.
To me, it all boils down to our becoming MORE of a 1. Community of 2. Learners. We faculty need to LEARN more/better about the curricular experiences we're offering our students. And we also need to better understand how we remain A (LEARNING) COMMUNITY in terms of our relations w/ each other." Mike Pardee
