[info-tech] Doodle 4 Google

2009-02-03 Thread Buenz, Tim
Welcome to Doodle 4 Google, a competition where we invite K-12 students to play 
around with our homepage logo and see what new designs they come up with. This 
year we're inviting U.S. kids to join in the doodling fun, around the 
intriguing theme What I Wish for the World.

[info-tech] test scanning software

2009-02-03 Thread Brad Kruse
We have a few teachers that want to start using test scanning software. 
For example:  multiple choice test - students fill out scan sheet or
other method
I know there are some online solutions also.  What have others used?

We use the Scantron version--really old (before I came to the  
district old) that hooks up to a computer running Windows 95, and  
some goofy hookup.  I don't speak PC well.  LOL


I believe I came across their newer versions that are USB  
connectivity and fairly reasonable priced in a magazine ad  . . .   
but if it's not broke . . .  the only problem I've had is trying to  
replace the computer when it crashed once.

[info-tech] Tech Blog

How many of you use a Blog or website of some form to communicate with  
your faculty and community members?  If so what do you use? How often  
do you update? What do you put there?

We have setup a message board (forum) on our website recently.  Not used
much yet but there are some classes that have used it and I want to use
it more in the future for faq and tech topics.

Re: [info-tech] Tech Blog

2009-02-03 Thread Bill Day
We use both. We have blogs for elementary and preschool and a tech blog 
for me to give info to the staff or anyone interested. We have a latest 
news section on the website for the public and a staff alerts section 
that only shows up when the staff logs in to get info to our staff.

RE: [info-tech] Tech Blog

2009-02-03 Thread Timothy A. Limbert
I have a Tech Blog that I use to get (what I hope is) useful information out
to the students, and they can comment back with their input (which is often
very helpful).  Many of our teachers have blogs that they use in their
classes in different ways, and some groups (my tech helpers and my NASA
group) have private blogs to share information that's not public.  Some of
our blogs are updated frequently, and some languish for long periods.  Some
of our blogs are open to view and comment from the general public, and some
are restricted to domain users or even to members of certain groups.
