Over 50 Individual Sites Created...and Counting!
Posted Friday, December 03, 1999
The number of individual web sites that have currently been set up as part of the overall District Web Site has surpassed 50 . . . with about 20 of those sites actually having content of one kind or another added to them (in the form of news, links, and/or calendar items). There are a number of other requested sites left to set up for individuals, departments, and projects.

The speed with which staff members have latched on to this idea is spectacular . . . and inspiring to other school districts who have been watching what we are doing.

Rapid Growth!
Posted Monday, November 29, 1999
The number of staff members requesting individual district web site pages continues to grow, as do the number of pages with actual "live" content. Toward the bottom of the right hand column of this page you will see a list of Community Middle School teachers who are beginning sites. More will be following every day.

Thank you to Integrationist Dave Girtz for his quick offer to inservice Middle School staff today and for making sure the first sites were set up and ready to go for staff members to begin adding their own news and calendar information.

One site I'd like to point out is Mr. Stumpf's Middle School Technology Education page, which he is using as a pointer to a more fully developed web site. The title and address of this page will probably change soon to better reflect its focus as a shared page focusing exclusively on Middle School Technology Education.
