OUT WITH THE OLD; IN WITH ????????

Old site was too laborious (need coding background to maintain) and so was out of date and had incorrect information.

If we needed to create a new one

HOW TO GET IT GOING AND TO GET BUY IN???• Provide Examples of what can be done

• Provide a platform in which to create and post things

• Provide the time for departments to coordinate efforts and tasks

• Be diligent about how the time is used and where the accountability can be (must be visible and on the site)

• Continue to find ways to provide time and support (hardware if needed), bring in experts

THE GOAL• Site is self perpetuating and visited

• School provided time is no longer needed (teachers are creating on their own).
