The term Intranet describes an "internal" computer network (restricted to your school or organisation) which uses tools and protocols normally associated with the Internet.

The content available to students and teachers using an Intranet is created by students and teachers in the school.

An Intranet can also provide guided access to relevant Internet sites supporting the curriculum.

"Learners with different skills and backgrounds should collaborate in tasks and discussions in order to arrive at a shared understanding" (Duffy and Jonassen 1992).

A school Intranet provides a wonderful environment for publishing students' project work and teachers' information pages, as well as providing a collaborative "project sharing" environment, supporting a wide variety of traditional learning outcomes.

An intranet can be an intra-school (and inter-school) communication medium, with content developed by all members of the school community.

A school intranet, where students publish their own work, can play a pivotal role in supporting a constructivist learning environment.

This environment can actively supports Bloom's six levels of thinking skills - remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, and creating - most notably the higher three or four levels.
