The EduWeb 2005 Demo site is here with student work examples:

http://stuhasic.com/eduweb/eduwebdemo

This site is pretty much the full structure created by the EduWeb
In the Class 6W, you'll find a student called "Robby Bushell". He has completed 12 topics on-line and this is what he produced. It will give you some ideas of the sort of tasks you might like to try with EduWeb. Here is his site:
http://stuhasic.com/eduweb/eduwebdemo/2005/year6/6w/bushell_robby

In Class 6I, we have Mariam Ali, a rather exceptional student who has also produced 12 completely different topics of work. Take a look at her stuff here:
http://stuhasic.com/eduweb/eduwebdemo/2005/year6/6i/ali_mariam

These are REAL EduWeb websites created by year 6 students at a public school in Sydney. The only changes made were to anonymise the pages.
Both of these students completed their EduWeb intranet website at the same time as the rest of their class produced their own sites.
