Gearing Up

August 19, 2002 By Will Richardson

I’m sure web logging educators are no different from others, but how clear is it that school is just around the corner just from doing some teacher “blogrolling”? We’re all taking a little step back it seems, getting ready, recharging, sitting quietly…I miss all the posting, but I don’t miss the time it’s affording me to get focused on kids once again. 17 days…

    17 days? I wish… classes start here in 1 week, and I start work in 2 days!!!

    On a positive note, we’re about to set up a webserver on campus and depending on which OS our tech decided upon, we’ll go pMachine or Manila. I like both, based on what I’ve seen…

    I’ve submitted a proposal to our principal to set up a teacher “team” to start webifying every department/course/class. Individual teachers don’t have enough time or experience to just jump in, so I want to create a framework and start holding hands. In time, teachers will either see the functionality and start working on weblogging/portfolios etc. themselves or just leave it up to the team. I’d like to see the school have a completely functional online learning community. Of course, if the administration doesn’t want to pay for us to do this, I’ll just be doing stuff with my classes and a couple others.

    We’ll see what happens- wish me luck.

    Michael,
    If you wind up using pMachine let me know. I will be giving it a go this year so I’d love to compare notes.

    I have been in school for almost two weeks.  I am still looking for hosting.  I am checking in with Sam Devore about a trial hosting with his company.  I’ll keep you posted.  Exciting year so far.  Hope all will be well with y’alls.
