Why Wikis Still Matter | Edutopia
Wiki is a Hawai’ian word meaning “fast” or “quick.” As a technology platform, Ward Cunningham installed the very first wiki on the Web in 1995. That was two years before the word “weblog” was coined (and four years before that term was shortened to “blog”). Wikis predate Facebook and Twitter by roughly a decade. At sixteen years old, the wiki predates almost every other social media tool (other than email, of course, which historians of technology say turns 40 this year). Why then, in the face of rapidly changing technology — all the new bells and whistles and Web 2.0 tools — should we still use wikis?
Lot’s of Edublogs Updates!

Just a quick note: when you log into your blog you will have a bunch of pull down menus at the top of your page. For example, you can log in, then go to ‘Add New’ and choose ‘Post’. That will bring you right to the new post page. There are a lot of other navigational items in the pull down so explore and see what works for you.
Also, there are a lot of new plugins & widgets that allow you to customize your site. For instance, directly to the right of this text (at the moment) is a ‘Subscribe by Email’ widget.
Also, there is a great new Google Maps plugin. Check this out!

Shared Public Calendars
August 6th, 2010 · No Comments · District 62 Support, District 62 Updates
We have created shared public calendars for each of our buildings. The calendars exist on the email server which means that everybody has access to them right out of Entourage.
Maintenance is entering information including building reservations and meetings. Also, some buildings are entering curricular information.
Watch this short tutorial if you would like more information in a ‘show and tell’ sort of way!
I took down the embedded video for this. If you want to see the video again please follow this link.
New Phones
July 28th, 2010 · No Comments · District 62 Updates
Out with the old, in with the new. We have begun the transition to our new VoIP phone system. As proof here is my new phone:
New Cisco phones installed & working in d62 admin
…and here are most of the old phones from the admin building:
The old phones rested in Seth's office for a few days!
The next big day for district phones is August 13. On that day we move the eight non-phase 1 buildings to VoIP
For those who are interested we are moving to a Cisco based VoIP system & our service is from AT&T.
