My mum is a head teacher of an infant school - she was approached a few weeks back by some people who were trying to get her to pay alot of money for some 'educational content managment system' - I don't know what it was called as she didn't say.
I told her to wait because I was sure it was possible to do the same sort of thing for much less, and as I'd previously convinced her to buy some proper webspace, that it was possible.
So I looked around for days trying to find something - even installed and tried some out, but they were either too complicated to understand and customise, or didn't have enough features she needed. I eventually found Moodle and decided to give it a chance. I customised all the icons and painted a hamster for it (don't ask
It's not ready for her school to see yet as she needs to add stuff. I think she's making it 'public' after Easter.

Anyway I just want to thank Martin and all the other developers here - I think it's the best education tool there is, cos I looked long enough before!
