Don't Forget SOCS and I think it is on the co-op On Feb 8, 2007, at 10:20 AM, Brad Kruse wrote:
I agree George. Teachers and coaches don't have the extra time to keep current even if they get their pages started. Then, what happens when they leave the district! I just looked at Tim's solution. I like it and there are probably more out there just like it. I am going to call them today. But, will the Board and supt. want to spend. It may, however, allow them to appreciate what we are able to do currently!Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars! Brad Kruse ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ Tech. Coord. `6_ 6 ) `-.

I think everyone is having the same problem of trying to do more on our website and not having the time or expertise to do it. If anyone has tried to maintain a website, they soon find out that it is time-consuming and not everyone has the design talent to do it properly. If schools want an effective website, they need to realize that it is not "free".GeorgeFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:info-tech- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad KruseSent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 9:25 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech] School Website Outsourcing Is anyone outsourcing their district website?I would like to hear the good and the bad if anyone has done this in the past and also the name of the business that is used. Currently, I have some independent study students that help me along with a few coaches and secretaries that do their part. We have a "publications" class here but they only work with the newsletter and yearbook. We are constantly relying on the website for more each week and it is really becoming a burden. I really would like to add more features but I don't know enough and "don't want to know enough" to do it properly. Also, there is always a worry about a student author publishing something that should not be published!Thanks. Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars! Brad Kruse ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ Tech.
