We currently print out a paper staff bulletin that gets pinned up around the school notice boards next to the list of daily extras etc. Staff explore the archive by lifing back the top copy. <br><br>There is general agreement that they should be archived on our Intranet but nobody really wants a collection of documents / PDFs or more e-mail to read. I like the idea of the wiki .. should be as easy as cutting and pasting by the office staff. Perhaps we should limit the news forum to important alerts and use the wiki as the long term e-parking place for these bulletin anouncements.
<br><br>Somebody once described a wiki as the grafitti board posted on the hot water urn.. a kind of board where people pin up notices and other staff annotate little notes. I like this analogy as it reflects how a Wiki can work best by handing control, back to the users. It is an interesting thought to allow staff to edit their own news bulletin. At the end of each day, printing out the copy to be posted on our noticeboards.

<br><br>We just have a web page resource that is changed every day (benefit is that the link is stable so staff & parents can go to same<br>place every time.<br>Negative is that back copies are on another link...<br><br>
