Welcome WHS 2011-2012
I continue to be inspired by WHS. We are doing amazing work here and I look forward to whats ahead. This blog uses Blogger which is available to everyone at WHS through our Google Apps account. I will be giving tech updates here from this point forward so please do subscribe to the blog (via email see right hand column over the videos) to receive updates and announcements from the world of integration at WHS. You can also add this blog to your Google Readers via RSS. My goal is to post here about school wide technology and innovation topics (like ePortfolio's!), troubleshooting topics that stem from your questions and our work together, student project work, the Web 2.0 course and so much more. I hope this makes communication easier for everyone.
Updates and general housekeeping to date:
General (Label: general)
All systems are up and running as of Wednesday 5 October 2010. Powerschool speeds and First Class additions are being addressed.
Website (Label: website)
Our website will be getting some major help soon! Prior to anything epic (and epic is needed:)), I will continue to find and change links to make things easier in the near term. If you have a need for our current website feel free to email me.
I have also revamped some important sites that link from our homepage. The Parent laptop site (Now Parent and Student), along with the WHS Tech Resources websites have been updated, added to and changed to a more current and salient state for our activities and action this year. The pages within this Blog now contain this information on ePortfolios, PowerSchool, Google Apps, a Resource Library of software and online tools along with some video detailing media literacy and 21st century skills. Please do visit each of these pages as they contain many new additions and I would like to hear your feedback on the media and resources now there. Feel free to leave a comment or email!
Google Apps (Label: googleapps)
As I have mentioned I am an unabashed Google Apps adherent and will be encouraging you all to take greater advantage of this amazing resource we have. Please do take a look at the new tutorials I have embedded on the Tech Resources website and contact to me with Google questions of any kind. As admin for our Google Apps instance I also encourage you to let me know if you need anything regarding your account. I will give periodic Google Tools in Education tips and tricks, stay posted and please use Google Apps often. The more you use them the easier they become.
ePortfolios (Label: eportfolio)
I am currently working on ePortfolio frameworks and look forward to your feedback soon.
My Schedule (Label: tcsmschedule)
I will be at WHS in the Tech Integrator capacity weekly this year. I am working out both help desk request protocols (scheduling to see me for the routine and integration). I am also excited about the possibility of working with the students in advisories on topics of integration, saftey and innovation. More on this soon.
Morning seminars and "un-seminars" (Label: techseminars)
Next week: See the Integration Information Page
