an Open Source Content Management System (CMS)
You can set Drupal to allow sign up without a e-mail….that’s a good thing for schools who do not have student e-mail accounts.
Drupal allows you to have a wiki, blog, podcasts all in one CMS system.
I really like drupal but need to spend some more time setting it up, hacking it up, and adding good modules.
What Drupal modules in your opinion are a must have?

I haven’t played with Drupal that much other than installing it on our webserver. We are moving to Edline for parent communication and grades. I need to see what Edline will do first before I seriously look at Drupal.
I do like the idea of not needing an email address for access AND having wikis and blogs built in. I like the one-stop shop philosophy…one login, access to all.
Very useful information. Thanks for this. You got a great blog .I will be interested in more similar topics.I’m very interested in CMS and all its related subjects.
