I am a mere school teacher of 20+ years but love developing with .Net and especially Telerik controls.
I am developing an e-learning solution for my kids and hopefully the world over at http://www.iskool.net/
This site uses many Telerik controls and is soon to be all Ajaxed.
Is anybody else interested in the concept of '.Net or Telerik in Education?'
Cheers all,
J

I see that your forums are very popular, with thousands of posts in them? How were you able to make that site popular and get so much community?

I must say that the site does indeed look very nice. surfer is right; it's very Web 2.0.
What are you using for the forums? Did you write them yourself? Or are they a third party tool?

Thank you guys!
I really needed some impetus like this to keep it going.
I wrote the forum myself and am now trying to Ajax it all with Rad Ajax. Maybe it would make a good sample project?
At present I only have the kids from the school I teach at registered and I use it a lot for home learning and lessons (the forums, web pages and ecards are popular) and as the kids are mostly English but live here in Tokyo, they find the forum a release.
The premise for this site is that only schools with their own email domain domain can register, thus offering at least a little security.
.Net and Telerik apart, I have found it all but impossible to get other schools interested in this. My colleagues think I'm crazy unfortunately... Never mind, I will keep going with this as I know that the internet will become a major force in Education in the next 10 years and beyond and that safe interactivity for kids will lead the way.
Cheers!

I've seen a lot of ESL community forums, maybe posting there will help you advertise your service?

Do you think you can share the forum code?
