At Extended Council today we talked about the problem of communication within the district. We can solve a lot of these problems if we can cultivate a vibrant blogging community in CCSD 62. A large communication problem seems to exist with the amount of district wide email is sent, requiring teachers, administrators and other staff to use their email inbox as a sort of digital filing cabinet. And I agree, that’s a poor way to manage information – after a day that information is buried under a mountain of new information.
I suggest that if you can write an email message, you can post the same information in a blog. The important difference being that the information you post on a blog now exists on the web and can be referenced much more easily. Further, it can be borrowed, forwarded, elaborated on, revisted, re-used, refuted…just a thought!
how about a blog template for meeting info that should be dispersed? It might make those that hesitate to just dive in to dip their toe in first.
Like an example? With faux content but similar to what might happen in d62?
