Now that the hardware is connected……

August 9th, 2008

We must socially connect!!!!!To blog or not to blog

And what better way to connect than telling the world what you are up to. As educators especially elementary, the use of newsletters is one way we keep the school community connected. It’s great to be able to see what everyone is up to and look at the wall of newsletters, but why not start your own blog and keep us up to date a little more regularly?….This doesn’t mean that you post daily, it just means that you post when you want. One week you may post  only once the following week twice, maybe three times….it’s up to you.

SAS has many bloggers, and the software for you. Of course your elementary tech guys Mike Romard and I are blogging but, so are staff all over the campus, from teachers to admin! Check out the following…. Kimbra in grade 5, Amanda Decardy in Middle School, Principal Ron Roukema, Deputy Super Andy Torris, Shaun McElroy, Alfred Olivas, just a few to get you started. Once you have visited these few I suggest turning your attention to educators blogging all over the world that contribute to education and pedagogy allowing you to view things differently and incorporate new ways of doing things into what you are already doing…check out the following bloggers…..Jeff Utecht, David Warlick, Jenny Luca, Tim Munnerlyn, Viki Davis

Some links won’t work here in China…mostly anything that has bloggerspot, wordpress.com etc in its URL. I would suggest downloading hotspot shield a free nifty little thing that is a vpn…much like a secure bank line out of China that can’t be read by the amazing firewall “protecting” us all in the PRC.

Now to read all of these can take some time and we can talk more about this in a future post….but start thinking about putting some of your energy into creating your news online rather than paper. And ask questions, we are more than happy to help one and all!
