DiscussionDiscussion
On-line curriculum can integrate presentation of material with hands-on activities
Site-based file storage means kids don’t have to worry about “where is my file”
Teachers need to assist with username/password maintenance
Plan to integrate community-building features (discussion boards, open project DB) by next fall
