Martin,
My request is about the Front Page. In courses it is clear how to manage
editing. On the Front Page only the first XO seems to be able to create
global links to public folders and site resources (the menus that become
editable through Turn Editing On). It may seem a point of detail but what
happens if the first admin XO becomes unavailable for any reason? We are
told that logging on as administrator is at your own risk as it might
break Moodle. As the persons who would be required to log on as
administrators would be the teachers only newly introduced to computers, I
think we need to follow safe guidelines.

Does not appear... on which course? Make them a teacher of each course
where you want them to see that.
Note! Don't make all teachers 'course creators'. Just create a course
for them, and make them a teacher _in that course_.
Secondly, we have set up courses for each of six classes and are joining
the
250 students and their teachers to them as teachers and students
Cool. that's the way :-)
. The
teachers have been made Front Page teachers but not been given any
system
roles (otherwise they appear in all the courses).
Good too!
We want to allow teachers
to collaborate between each other as well, so I am thinking of creating a
Teachers course.
Yes - perfect! You're getting the 'moodle way'. Create a Teachers'
Exchange course, and in there make them all teachers.
I have not enough experience with Moodle to know what to
expect will there be any cross over issues (the best way I can
describe
it) if teachers A and B are members of the Grade 3A and 4B courses
respectively, and then also both as members of Teachers.
Each course its is own world -- you are doing it right.
Moodle never asks is this person a teacher? or is this person a
student?. Moodle doesn't care. You are a teacher _in the context of a
course_. You might be a student in another course (how to use
moodle)!
A child might be student in a course, but an openminded teacher /
course creator can setup a course where kids are setup with a
teacher role and can do more things!
Hope all is good in PNG!
