RE: [info-tech] Teacher Websites/Sharepoint?
For stuff like this. Has anyone looked into Google Docs. We use it as of this year and love it a lot. It saves a lot of headaches for me on students loosing documents because they do everything right on the web. Document, presentations and spreadsheets. Saves it all to Google Servers and they take care of it. Give kids emails through them and allow our teachers to create website that are really simple. And best of all, it FREE to schools.

Re: [info-tech] Teacher Websites
We provide a page for every teacher on the District web site and require them to populate it with at least basic information. In addition we give them the option to link to other pages they have created from the district site. We still house these on a district server but this gives them flexibility to create pages in Frontpage. Of course we see a wide range of usage from teachers who update the page once a year to those who update it daily. We are definitely seeing an increase in teachers posting daily assignments,links relevant to class,and student work online. There are a lot of positives. The only real negative for us is the need to handle issues with privacy. We provide an Internet, Publication and Video Waiver that parents can sign if they do not want their child's photograph or name to appear on the district web site or in the district newsletter. Someone has to keep track of that and keep teachers informed. Currently out of 1500 households we have only1 who have made the request so it hasn't been a big issue.
