Hey Megan. I think I have shared posts with you before. If so, you seem pretty tech
savvy would you be interested in toying with this site I am working on? It would be
nice to have another tech person.
The site ranges from being simple to use but is very complex when working with the
PhP scripting, database connection, croning, and the list goes on.
If you are interested im sure you could find it to be useful if you teach, basically this
is an advanced form of blackboard hosted on a private site.
I have just started working with the electronicsEDU.com Webmaster, overall we are all
about open source software and attempting to offer this stuff free to teachers and
students. I am just now looking into adding a VNC or Vskype module to allow for live
video conferencing. Breeze is a little pricey. anyway ....
