The sup't wants ideas how to better keep our district website fresh/current and what workflows work.
Currently I am the only person that updates the site save for the secretaries posting daily announcements. Everyone else emails me with what they need updated: lunch menu, newsletter, vacancies, BoE agendas and minutes are the common things (once a month though.) Occasionally I will get a piece of news to put on the front page, or a request for a weblink etc. I also put up a transcript of any voice broadcast. Things tend to change every one-to-two weeks. I am very comfortable in regards to technically making things happen, but I do not take the time to generate copy nor do I seem to have much graphic design interest. I guess I know when something looks bad, but I have never thought I was too good at coming up with creative new ways to display things after I find something that works. We have incorporated more things each school year - this year we have a few useful Google calendars embedded, and I am not sure just what the sup't has in mind, but if anyone out there is doing anything "cool" to keep their site relevant and not just a knowledge bank of useful district information and regularly scheduled data outlet let me know what you are doing and how/who makes it happen. http://a-ccentral.com --Michael T.
