I am new to Plone and to this mailing list, but I have launched a Plone
site that I think might interest some of you. Check out
http://EdTech.ws. I'd be thrilled to get any feedback from any of you
and even more thrilled if any of you choose to contribute to the
project. Thanks. -Wagner
 
PS- Here is the invitation I have been sending out. if you think it is
worthwhile, please pass it on: 
 
Educators and students,
 
EdTech.ws is a free web portal intended for K-12 and Higher Education 
students, teachers, administrators, EdTech coordinators, and IT staff 
to share their experiences in the field of Educational Technology.
 
An EdTech.ws account is not required to use the site. Anyone can browse 
the site Events, and site News, or use the Search feature. Other 
features of the site are easily accessible by performing a simple 
search feature. For instance, a search for "forum" will reveal 12 
discussion forums ranging in topic from practical curriculum issues to 
technical cross-platform integration issues.
 
Right now, anyone can post to the forums and anywhere else discussion 
is allowed. This letter is your invitation to participate. Please 
contribute!
 
This site is in its infancy, but is ready for use. The benefit we will 
all derive from EdTech.ws will be directly related to how much effort 
we each put into it.
 
Educators, technicians, and the students they serve (or work with) are 
forced to 're-invent the wheel' far too often. If you are having a 
problem, search for the answer at EdTech.ws. If you don't find it, be 
sure to post your question. We will make every effort to address the 
questions ourselves, and it may very well be that another visitor knows 
the answer already and will share it on-line. In turn, you too can post 
the answers to problems you have encountered.
 
To access all parts of the site and make additional contributions (such 
as your own EdTech.ws homepage, News, and Events), sign up for an 
EdTech.ws account. For a limited time, we are offering a free EdTech.ws 
e-mail alias to anyone who makes a contribution to the site.
 
EdTech.ws is free and will always be free. It is administered and 
hosted by Mark Douglas Wagner, Ed Tech Coordinator at Estancia High 
School and candidate for a Ph.D. in Educational Technology at Walden 
University.
 
He thanks you for your time, and asks you to please pass this invitation

on to your fellow educators and students.
