P.S.+127+School+Portal

=Ideas and Suggestions Needed= I'm not sure how many of you know, but I am now the school webmaster. I went to a training a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised at the level of professionalism the school website could have. We looked at a number of sites that were part of the pilot program and they were really effective. [|This is a link to the Tottenville High School portal. I think their webmaster presented information in a fresh way.]

What do you think of their site? What positive comments do you have about it? What about some negatives? [|Now compare their site with our's.] Our site has not been edited at all, so I hope that we can come up with some ideas as a team that I can put into practice on the portal.

I have divided the school into four flavors: Cherry, Lemon, Orange, and Strawberry.


 * 1) Each flavor grouping will meet today.
 * 2) Groups will choose a task-master that will be responsible for typing their comments into their groups wiki page.
 * 3) As a group, come up with 5-10 ideas or suggestions that you have for how the website can best represent the students and the school community.
 * 4) Click on your group flavor and add to the list using bullets.
 * 5) Think about grade-appropriate features as well as administrative and faculty uses.
