Light Relief

Not really a FFS so put it here:

I informed all teaching staff by email about a link to a revision planner site (probably picked it up from this site). Many Staff said thanks but one individual (SMT) took it further. Welcome to the Twilight Zone!

Email to Staff:

I came across this web site MyRevisionPlan which you may find to be of use to students.

Individual to me:

{name], this looks interesting. I am unclear as to the security of student data that might be uploaded and whether it remains with the school or is stored elsewhere. I would need to know this before we out it on our site, also, the admin. implications for [exams Officer]. Could you find out more please? Thanks. [name]

I'm pretty sure I didn't mention anything about putting it on any site, but anyway, I reply:

All data is stored off site, there are no links to the school. [exams officer] does not need to be involved at all as all exam dates are taken from the various examination boards directly.

Students register themselves. I only mentioned it to staff as a possible alternative to aid students plan their revision if they felt it would help.

Individuals reply:

[name], Put it on the VLE as a link, it could prove of value to students planning their revision. Thanks. [name]



Isn't that what I said in my original email? (Less the VLE link)



Well I thought it was funny

He's probably getting it from the bit that says student data can be automatically populated from your MIS.

Looks like a nice site and might take a closer look when I've got 10 mins.

Anyone use this?

We still have the link in our VLE, it seems some students use it.
