June 2009 Field Activity Reflection
As our school district does not have a dedicated website person and out technology staff of two does not have understanding of HTML, I have been involved helping to make changes to the website. We started out with a very basic site, and I have converted it to a template based site utilizing Adobe Dreamweaver. This has helped so that I can make changes to the template, which includes the menu structure, so that changes affecting the template can be made across a site that consists of several hundred pages in a very short time. I hope that in time I can get the site to be a more efficient and useful tool for the school and the community.
Keeping up and maintaining a site can be a full time position for any school district. Our district does not have the resources to have a dedicated tech person to manage the web site. So in this case I am having to be very involved and aware of ISTE standard V and utilizing the Internet to communicate with staff, teachers, students and the community.
