Col found this site . Could be an alternative to using wikispaces for a class group. Thanks Col. Looks interesting and it does seem a little simpler.

Laptop Wraps are units of work especially written for the new laptop learning devices. The wraps are easily found at the TaLe site
The wraps are units of work designed to be done independently by student using their laptops BUT they can also be easily used on the computer by anyone. These wraps or resources are where a lot of DER money has been spent and they are worth a look.
If you have not been to TaLe then you need to set aside some time to explore, as it has changed a lot since it first began.
You can use the search function and then save your results so they are handy the next time. There is also a function to update you when new resources become available.
If you like the format of the wraps CLI has an online course for making your own. To access ( no charge) you go to: Tale and it is one of the focus items at present or go to
CLI which will bring up the sign on page. There is new teacher accreditation for this online course.
I will be attempting one and if anyone else would like to have a go I'll be in F10 after school Wednesday having a go. I see laptop wraps as the new energised powerpoint class weapon against ignorance and indifference. With the interactive board in the Library a wrap would work well with any class.

Moodle should not be confused with muddle. Moodle is a multi-object orientated dynamic learning environment. It is run through a server and in VERY simplistic terms is a controlled environment which can be designed for students to use and teachers to organise learning. Instead of using text books, notes, video and audio recordings and all other resources when planing work - it can ll be done using the moodle construct. "Social construction" is a term often associated with the moodle.
Imagine a wikispace on steroids ................................. better yet imagine your classroom on the internet with 24 hour access and all members having 24/7 access to each other.
no more having to share texts
students work at own pace
able to link with any resource on internet
able to track student work for assessment
students away from school can access work....
a different way of programming and assessment
need for professional development in building units of work and courses
need for whole school approach because it uses server technology
