Colleagues, apologies for x-posting, but I feel that this is important:
I relay the request, below. I am sure that there are many UK schools =
that could make a positive and constructive response to the questions =
below. A good time to get your school on the world map?

Shaping the networked mode of schooling
A message to all members of Developing Networked School Communities
The Early Networkers?
Dear Colleagues
Do you know of any schools that have begun, even in a small way to use =
their digital and network technology to work and=20
collaborate most closely with their homes?
That use could be educational or administrative in nature.
Can be anywhere across the developed world.
Do you know for example of schools;
- making use of the kid=E2=80=99s own mobile technology in the =
classroom?
- operating wikis or nings aimed at involving the parents more =
fully?
- running online support programs out of normal school hours?
- using interactive newsletters that enable the parents/students =
to comment on proposals put by the school?
- organizing their parent/teacher interviews online?
- where the students=E2=80=99 digital expertise is listened to =
when shaping the school=E2=80=99s development?
- where the parents have created their own website/ning/wiki to =
comment on the workings of the school?
Is your school one?
Having now completed the writing of Developing a Networked School =
Community Glenn and I are keen to make contact with those schools that =
have begun the shift to the networked mode =E2=80=93 wherever they be in =
the world =E2=80=93 and talk about the path taken and their future =
plans.
We=E2=80=99re currently working with some of the pathfinders but would =
like to liaise with more.
All the signs point to those schools being primarily ones where the bulk =
or all of the staff have normalized the everyday=20
use of the digital in their teaching =E2=80=93 and indeed being schools =
using interactive whiteboards throughout.
However we are also aware of schools where a small group of early =
adopter teachers and/or parents have made the initial=20
moves.
We=E2=80=99d like to contact them and learn their story.
If you know of any schools, parent groups or indeed education =
authorities making forays into the networked mode we=E2=80=99d love=20
to hear of them and secure the key contact details.
Kind regards
Mal Lee and Associate Professor Glenn Finger
