Did you know that we have added new images to the Clip Art Directory? Take a look at the newly organized categories -- you're sure to find images that are perfect for your website. And now that we've increased your Image Library storage space to 10MB, you can add a lot more images than before. Stay informed with all that's happening at MySchoolOnline by updating your contact information. We've noticed that many WebCreate users have outdated email addresses listed in their accounts. To receive important email updates about your account, please make sure to include a current email address in the Edit Your Account section under Site Administration. System Directors and Site Publishers must also update the Site Profile. Sincerely, Your Friends at MySchoolOnline ============ NEW FEATURES ============ We have built new linking features into the WebCreate tools, so you can proudly display links in the left-side navigation to the MySchoolOnline websites of your school, district, or classrooms. Class sites can include a link called "Our School Website." Schools can include "Our District Website" and "Staff & Faculty" links to connect to their district's MySchoolOnline site and to connect to any or all classes in the school. District sites can display a "Schools" link for MySchoolOnline schools in their district. In all cases, the Site Publisher now decides which links to display and which to hide. These links should make it easier for visitors to navigate between related class, school, and district sites. Learn more about managing links to associated sites in the "WebCreate User Guide." http://myschoolonline.com/article/0,1120,14-13159,00.html?wtlAC=msowt100 902,email-t We're interested in finding out what you think of the new MySchoolOnline.

The Best Sites are MySchoolOnline's prime examples of how the WebCreate tools can be used creatively to integrate technology and education. October's Best Sites are Dr. B's Homepage, Our Lady of Grace School, INSPRA, and Riverdale Elementary PTO. Read more about these websites at the Best Site Showcase. http://www.myschoolonline.com/article/0,1120,31-9611,00.html?wtlAC=msowt 100902,email-t ========================= EFFORTLESS AUTUMN CONTENT ========================= A valuable feature of WebCreate is the Content Connection, which allows you to easily add seasonal activities and supplemental articles to the content on your site. In a matter of minutes you can fill your website with autumn activities and printables for October, Columbus Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving! Visit the Content Gallery section of the Content Connection, and create an Autumn Folder on your website. The articles are marked by grade and are great for the classroom, or for the student to do at home. http://myschoolonline.com/folder/0,1872,55356-121175-5-6920,00.html?wtlA C=msowt100902,email-t Add a timely Quick Content page to your site, too! The Imagination Station presents hands-on activities that celebrate the seasons with a focus on art and science. With a new activity every week, your students will enjoy studying the changing leaves, decorating a pumpkin man, creating creepy party treats, and making a mosaic or pinecone turkey. To help you keep your site organized, you now have the ability to create multiple levels of Folders (i.e., Folders within Folders). You'll find that organizing Content Connection articles into Folders keeps your site neat and easy to navigate, and prevents your Welcome Page from getting too long and too complicated. For example, you can create an Autumn Folder, with a link that appears in the left-side navigation. Within that Folder, you might have Folders for each of the fall holidays (e.g., Columbus Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving), and within each of those Folders, you could organize Content Gallery articles. After the season is over, simply Save the Autumn Folder, and visitors will no longer see the Folder as part of your site. You can easily Save and Publish the Folder next fall, to post the autumn content on your site again. http://myschoolonline.com/folder/0,1872,55356-121175-5-6920,00.html?wtlA C=msowt100902,email-t ======== QUIZ LAB ======== Quiz Lab makes assessment easier with fast quiz preparation and grading.
