What is a Content Management System?
A Content Management System (CMS) is a culmination of Web 2.0 technologies that allow you to manage content of any kind. The content is delivered through a web site which allows extended access outside normal school hours.
A CMS can be used to tell the world about your school, or to deliver learning resources, you can even have your own helpdesk and lots more.
