     inexpensive. In addition to a fully-

     students and teachers can each have
     their own personal webpage at the
     school's site with blog, video, images,
     documents etc. with various access
     levels. We focus on students as
     producers of content.

     potential partners or schools who would
     like to try out Moava.
