Dear Staff,
Because it is 2009, I wanted to give you something that would benefit tremendously. Instead of worry about everyone having a website, I have decided that we each need to have a blog, therefore, simplifying our on-line dilemmas.
A blog is an online forum in which a teacher can dedicate a page just to their class. It is controlled by you. You can post assignments, videos, announcements, etc. . I have created this blog to show you what I want it intended to do. It can be a great resource for you. So, instead of a website you can post things on your blog that can be helpful to your students and their parents. To simplify it even more, I have created some videos and pulled video off the Internet so that it is an easy transition for you. I have also included some information regarding excel, PowerPoint, and some simple uploading functions that you may have questions about. I need to have everyone create a blog by January 16th and turn in their web address www. name of blog. blogspot.com. to me by that date.
If you have a blackboard page or web page please continue and you can just post announcements on your blog and link it to your other services. I feel certain that this will help us turn the corner in a lot of areas and also help me communicate to you as I hope these pages do. Have a great day.
