[Oz-teachers] Website help please

Jill,

I submitted the blog article 3 months after the other 2 for the next edition.

Was a bit embarrassed by finding 3 in there.

Thanks for the comments,

Anne

In relation to the Access journal Annie, you
can really claim the magazine as yours this issue with three major articles!
Well done – great articles too. I have no idea how you manage to write so much
as well as your blog too! Congratulations
Yours
Jill

Lorraine,

Try a  blog - I here copied some links below that may help from my recent
article in Access. 

Edublogs is easy, but has limited storage. Wordpress.com is also free and has
more space. However, they don't allow advertising - if you plan to sell space,
then blogger/blogspot may be better options. These have lots of space. However,
try and link to images - especially if you want to show lots of these - rather
than uploading them to your blog to avoid using your storage. Otherwise - there
are options to pay if you want more functions and space.Some of these blog
platforms can be set up with a password-so only the school community can view
them - if you want this.

The links below are about Library sites, but this can just as easily be used
for a school site.

Regards,

Anne

"Blogging can be
effective for Library websites. Carolyn Foote discusses blogging in: “Looking
to Ramp Up Your Library Web Site? Try a Blog” http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6712732.html Library sites can be very static if they cannot be easily updated, or if they
are not interactive and allow comments. Modern students are accustomed to
instant messaging and texting – can students easily contact your Library using
communication technologies? Here is a school Library site that is a blog: http://librarymhs.blogspot.com/ An
example of a school library blog with a modern approach follows, containing
both a primary and secondary blog (click bottom half of the link). https://sites.google.com/a/vmbulldogs.com/van-meter-secondary-library-voice/

Hi All,

Our small school (38 students) would like to have a school website. What Web 
Editor would people suggest?  I don't know enough html to do one from 
scratch but we need something reasonably cheap.    With the
introduction of 
the Intranet later this year we only need a fairly simple web page, just 
something for prospective parents to see.  We also have a pretty darn good 
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden which we love to promote so the web page 
could be a good avenue for that as well.

Thanks for any suggestions you can make.
Cheers,
Lorraine
