[Maced] Sharing photos in schools

[David Burke]

The iWeb option is what I've always pushed. With "Photos08" all staff  
have access to adding photos and it doesn't fall to one staff member.  
Kicking this off at Corrimal East and the staff seem very keen, will  
be good to see how things go in the coming months. At Moss Vale they  
use the groups folder, though I've started up a "Photos08" and the  
kids seem to prefer the web option, makes their web browser the one  
stop shop for photos (intranet or internet).
