One of the things I simply don't know is what do year 1 parents need to know? Surely the teacher can only truly know what is useful for her environment and her parents? I know sites like http://myschoolclosures.com are relevant to the entire school so I would recommend that but I'm stuck to think of other sites to recommend that I can guarantee will be relevant..
Any feedback on this or recommended sites would be great! Cheers
UPDATE:
Simfin summarized what he wanted as: "things you need to know to help your child succeed in y1."
So the conundrum is What do the parents want to know to help them succeed? Will parents give assisted learning if they have access to the curriculum? Is it a good thing if parents do and some parents don't? Is the teacher putting links online just to tick a box and has the teacher informed the parents about the links?
One thing I must remember while working through this project is that a VLE is like a free market. Choice is key and everything has a traded value, the problem is that with 5 or 6 key parties involved, making a deal that suits all could be complex but like any good deal, everyone should feel better off.
Trying to tick boxes is not what I am trying to accomplish by this project..
One last thing whilst I'm on a rant.. One of the ultimate goals is a paperless school, "Not a VLE" is part of this project but the implementation of Web2+ tech will be predominant throughout.
