About us
We want to and will make it easy for schools to keep their staff, pupils, parents, partners, other stake-holders and wider community informed, updated and engaged.

Now, by merely typing in the text you can do it too!

It's so easy even 7 year old children can do it. If you are able to move a mouse, click a few buttons and string a few sentences together you can maintain a cutting edge site.

We'll give you all the training you'll need, support you on the phone or with email, all to make sure you get the best out of your investment.

Our killer features are:
Superb content management and blog software. Excellent Google optimisation.
An email to weblog interface, making updating your school blog a doddle. 
Top draw support and feedback.

Holy ju-ju
Remember the power of a newbie: "When you are a newbie, you have something that tech-experts do not have: the perspective of a new user."

So true. I love (and hate) showing a newbie our demo. Everytime there's a new something I totally missed. I love it when it goes easily, smoothly; hate it when there's something so obvious, but they can't see it. Obviously, it isn't obvious :-( </bangs head on wall>

Bullying outside school sites
Suicide bid girl 'bullied online': "last week she was told someone had made fun of her suicide attempt on the website forum Bebo."

Closed sites like Bebo are a huge problem. They're not indexed by Google. So if you're Googling for yourself, you'll not see them.

For our part, let me remind you that we monitor pupil to pupil emails, and have discovered one incidence of a bullying ring, a threat of suicide and several nuggets of kiddie Intel. All were dealt with successfully. Obviously, nothing on any of our school sites goes by unread by ourselves or several teachers from that school.

Outside the school gates, outside the school's website, it's hard to discover bullying. Again and again it need to be taught that it should be reported. Reported by the person being bullied and the silent witnesses. I've no clue how to do that.
