It isn't over! Blogging is fun -- and gives one an excuse for a "virtual high-five." We have been at our district tech camp for the past couple of days. This is an oasis of tech support with mini-lessons offered on demand but mostly the gift of time to get a handle on all one's onerous little tech projects.
This year we have managed to get all the critical documents (for which we are responsible) onto our website. Instead of sacrificing trees we will direct all our school staff to appropriate links for district policies on internet use, selection/retention policy, etc. Even better we have set up multiple accounts on Library Thing and placed links on the website: one is for students and parents, the other for staff, with appropriate tags for each. This way we can regularly update our new book offerings and alert teachers about new holdings in their curriculum areas, recommend new read-alouds, and let the community know that their tax dollars are being well spent.
We also took an hour or so and cleaned up the old bookmark bar -- and sorted everything neatly into MyDelicious. What a wonderful tool -- and frankly easier to navigate than the browser bookmark lists as well as accessible from any computer.
Next time: Voice Thread!
