I think what Lenora needs is a blog site, such as WordPress, that is intuitive to build, free and can be kept private with access only given to those whom she chooses. Since she has no website creation experience it would be important to use an online source that allows the user to choose from some simple templates. With respect to uploading materials, she should be able to add simple text, such as blogging her thoughts and experiences, using a dial up connection. For larger files such as audio, video or PDFs, she could create those off-line and then upload them when she has a high-speed connection at her school. This would allow her to do the work at home and leverage the high-speed connection from school for the larger files.
Privacy will be important, although presumably she would not be sharing information about her students, and nor would the other faculty who might join in on the discussions or comment areas. At least in the beginning, she will probably want to restrict access to her site to a limited number of other faculty until such time as she decides whether or not it’s appropriate to allow access for others on a more widespread basis.
Some of the other advantages of using a blog site, such as WordPress, is that she can install widgets for conducting polls or to monitor twitter accounts. Being able to conduct polls would allow her to get some quantitative feedback from other teachers about their experiences, their needs and their thoughts about future directions.
Sidebar…My original thought for Lenora was to create a private NING where others who join could participate more equaly. However, Ning now charges for sites. If her school board has access to a Ning, this might be the better option.
