Purpose of this Blog
I am trying to develop an example of what having a Teacher Blog as opposed to teacher web would look like. If you have a moment , could you take a look a look around and tell me what else you would like to see or not see? This blog is what I would use for my job in place of Teacher Web.
Benefits of this type of situation:
- we are self-hosting so we can have control over many aspects, such as the total size limits for uploads
- the address would be easy to remember for parents
- info is search-able
What are your initial thoughts on this? Any feedback would be welcomed as I am trying something new and am in uncharted waters for me.
Celebrations and Announcements
The purpose of this page is to post the latest info on campus about technology. Beginning next year I also intend to spotlight different teachers for various efforts in the realm of technology. This includes:
Teacher Site of the Week. Who has a cool teacher site for communication with students and parents? it could be a blog, a wiki, a TeacherWeb, etc. We would like to recognize that effort by choosing a page to highlight each week and rewarding that teacher with a small token, a certificate, and an entry into a monthly gift card drawing. You can nominate a fellow teacher at any time!
Technology All-Star Team: Who is doing something cool? Who stretched themselves with technology farther than anyone else? We would like to share what people are doing on campus with those who you may not work with directly everyday. I get my best ideas from other people. The token of appreciation in this category is still under research. Ideas?
