<a href="http://www.trunity.net" target="_blank">TrUnity.net</a> is a new web-based content management and publishing platform which is designed for that very purpose. Not a wiki, process flow.<br />
<br />
btw: Here are <a href="http://www.eoearth.org/by/contentpartner/WWF" target="_blank">860 eco-region profiles</a> of endangered species from WWF.

I have a source of images your students might enjoy. ahaafoundation.org is an art history site which is content and image rich. It is in the building phase and could be used by your history teachers. If a class or group of teachers finds this site worthwhile I would consider talking with them using Skype. I live in hawaii so our times and days don't quite match and that could be worked out.<br />

I would love to use Google docs with my students, if only my educational institution didn't block it! That's why we all seem to be casting around for the next nifty tool that will work behind fire walls.

I'm enjoying your Magazine Factory. Thanks for telling me about it. My only comment so far is that it would be great if it had a student registration like <a href="http://www.nicenet.org">www.nicenet.org</a> --> teachers 'creating' a class and students 'joining' a class. I'm finding it a little frustrating getting students access given the current situation re students having email accounts at my school. Not insurmountable but annoying. (IMHO, all web 2.0 student focused applications…

David,<br />
The only problem with google is that all the mail applications are barred on our network -- to stop people wasting time sending emails. And unless we get parental permission, we would be unable to get the kids to set up accounts. Certainly a good idea in theory though. Michael

Mark, you've set yourself a challenge!<br />
There is as you know a lot of great stuff out there but just not in one place... I use stikipad, pbwiki, snapgrades.net, <a href="http://www.flashcardexchange.com">www.flashcardexchange.com</a>, rubistar.4teachers.org and quizstar.4teachers.org; I'm going to try persuadestar.4teachers.org soon.

From this site, I've been introduced to hotchalk and ReadWriteThink. I've yet to try either yet. I've also stumbled across <a href="http://www.jacuba.com">www.jacuba.com</a> -- which I'll also like to try with kids. <a href="http://www.bubbl.us">www.bubbl.us</a> looks great, as does kidsvid.altec.org for videos and <a href="http://www.creatingmusic.com">www.creatingmusic.com</a> for music! <a href="http://www.spresent.com">www.spresent.com</a> would be useful as well -- as would artpad.art.com/artpad/painter ... and puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com has the word search/crossword makers etc.<br />
<br />
All of this together would be great! I can see why you have too little time!! And when is a lot too much??<br />
Again I rant on. Sorry.<br />

Mark,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the link to your site. I had a look and signed up -- I'll try it with one of my courses. Re the student registration in a wiki, I think that students still need to sign up -- but inside the site following on from their entry using the password -- I think hotchalk does that (I have yet to try it); certainly niceweb.<br />
<br />
Re videos, I presume that you know of clickview: <a href="http://www.clickview.com.au">http://www.clickview.com.au</a>. We have it at our school - very popular…

<br />
IMHO, with teaching sites I think that it is important to have something for the student to do -- that why I like the concept behind ReadWriteThink Printing Press (except for the limitations I mentioned) - online task, online activity -- <a href="http://www.lamsinternational.com">www.lamsinternational.com</a> has some nice activities - but it is not externally hosted.<br />
<br />
Good luck with your project. Sorry about the verbosity.
