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/Sharepoint?
Our new school wires website has the ability to do it. Right now I am working with our counselor and instrumental music person to setup their webpages. It came with the purchase of our site, just haven't had time to show our teachers how to use it. Hopefully when things settle we can get it worked out. Thanks! Jon W. Hueser- MSE, Ed.
