Hi Paul
I have just joined wired teachers and thought I would reply to your question.
I use the VLE in so many different ways:
v Learning Logs-each child in reception has an individual page which covers the 6 areas of learning for foundation stage and can be accessed by parents who are able to see what there child has been doing at school and are able to upload photos and leave comments via a journal.
v E learning stories-the nursery do their learning stories via the VLE, not only does it save them time but they have had a very positive response from parents as they are able to see via photos what there child has been doing and communicate with their child’s key worker and as with reception parents are able to upload photos and leave comments.
v Class/topic/internet safety pages-these are updated 3 times a week and mirror what the children are doing in class as well as photo diaries and video clips, a letter box etc, the children upload photos and keep a learning log/journal that they can publish to at school and home.
v Planning pages-teachers upload planning, which is available to everyone within that year group.
v We have subject coordinator pages where policies, evidence, action plans etc are kept (very handy when ofsted turn up!!)
v A link between schools within our area, the year 2 children chat to the teachers and year 3 children at junior school, which has proved very helpful during the transition period.
v Communication between job shares.
v A communication link between myself and our school FST

These are just some of the ways we use it at our school, I am always thinking of new ways just need another 5 or so hours in my day to fit it all in! I think its one of the best resources we have and the children /parents use it so freely and enjoy seeing new things on there often coming up with great ideas themselves.

Lou.
