T561, I'm looking for ideas. I'm helping to develop a training for teachers in an inner city school. The training involves the Teaching for Understanding with Technology Framework and I want to create a Forum for introductions. I'd like a platform that is easy to use and password protected. I've tried Lefora.com but it's clunky and has some functional issues.

Do you have a suggestion for a platform on which I could establish a password protected forum?

Although he doesn't talk about Technology specifically, I believe the paradigm shift in education for which Sir Ken Robinson advocates is made possible by the collaboration that technology affords. Worth a look if you haven't seen it already. This is the method in which I wish to deliver all my my future lectures.
