dars with groups is fairly easy to do and also you can use public calendars=
and sync with a website etc.. Also, using outlook Anywhere and or outlook =
Web Access
I would be careful with Google or other "FREE" programs as they have been i=
n trouble lately with scanning email content and then showing adds for prod=
ucts based on email content. This is a privacy issue and with students shou=
ld be a point of concern. A paid subscription service like Gaggle would be =
fine.
Zimbra looks like an interesting solution but doesn't yet have integrated s=
upport for Raisers Edge or other windows based integrated program. I do not=
doubt that it will some day. However, with all open source linux products =
is not necessarily cheaper, easier to manage, or inherently more secure.
Bottom line for us is that we are a windows based school and it just makes =
sense for our admin and faculty to use a windows based solution.

Subject: Outlook Calendar
We use an Exchange Server with Outlook 2003 for our teachers and staff
(not students). We wanted a way for heads of school to quickly see
teacher calendars for scheduling and just to know what is happening
during the week.
The Asst. to the Headmaster has been entering field trips and specialty
classes as well as middle school teacher schedules for a couple weeks
now.
I have two questions:
1. Is there an easy way to schedule a single event across a sub-set of
calendars? (Right now, she is copying and pasting.)
2. Is there another tool out there that would work better than Outlook?
Ideally, I would love a solution where teachers could also see other
teacher's public calendar. They can do that now with shared calendars
(but I haven't shown them how to do it yet), so would love this.
Thanks,
Renee Ramig
