Hi *, I'm going to be building a Web site for my high school science department over the next few weeks, and I'd like to get some suggestions from this group. I'm one of the teachers BTW, working on this site as part of my M.Ed. I am so impressed with Zope. I can envision lots of ways to use it to create a site that will keep my students coming back and provide an additional way to communicate with their parents about our courses. I've been following this listserv for a few weeks now, reading some docs, and thinking, but I want to ask: If you were going to create a Web site for a high school science department (the coolest such Web site every conceived :-), how would you utilize Zope? Think big! I hope your comments can help me identify and prioritize features that would have maximum affect on my students' learning. -Tim -- Timothy D.

Hmm, the biggest idea I can come up with is a project management application geared around the scientific method: 1) Assumption 2) Hypothesis 3) Test Hypothesis 4) Retain, Modify or Reject Hypothesis 5) If Hypothesis rejected, Question initial assumptions And so on. Let students collect, organize and present their test results using Zope (some of the graphing packages could be useful here), and you'll really have something! HTH, Michael.

Sorry, I realized after I posted that what I meant was 'Workflow Application'. Michael Bernstein.

Thats no good - I took high-school physics, and as far as I can recall the good thing about doing graphs on paper is that you can easily make them fit what they're supposed to show in theory :) -- Itamar - itamars@ibm.net ----------------------------o----------------------------------------------o Sealingwax Greeting Cards | Trust?
