right now we're launching a Web Development class for our Jr./Sr. =
classes this fall and we're planning on building our own servers using =
PyroCMS.
The servers will remain behind the firewall initially, but I can =
definitely see value in opening them up too.

Subject: Web Hosting in Secondary Schools
Folks --
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with or knows of secondary =
schools that provide web hosting for their students. I mean web hosting =
in the sense
of: "here's a directory on the web server, have at it!" -- a l=E0 a =
(good) ISP, or a college UNIX-account from ten years ago. I'm =
particularly interested in:
- What education is done with the students before providing and =
during
this kind of access?
- What tracking/monitoring/policing is done with these student web
spaces?
- What unexpected outcomes were there (good or bad)?
- Is there a set of best practices (either for the school or the
students)? What is it?
My experience has been that colleges that provide this kind of access =
seem to get both wonderful, bizarre, incredible student work... but also =
pornography and warez hosting. I don't think I know of any secondary =
schools that have done this, and I'm contemplating the balance of legal =
exposure, student learning, and serendipity that this might develop.
Thanks!
