All it takes is Asking 2

Ok well finally after two weeks they finally setup our school webpage for my students to go on and start posting their blogs. However, once my TRT told me that it was finally setup I had to go through and set up a new profile page for myself, then I was sent a spreadsheet that I had to put their login names and passwords into, which wasn't too bad because I made them all similar and just changed the number.

I don't know if this is how it is in other counties or school districts, but it just seems when you get a new idea and want to put it into play they make you jump through hoops in order to do it. If you aren't totally bought into the idea, or stubborn like me, you could really get discouraged and not want to do it anymore. So is this really how it is in other counties or just in Stafford County?

  1. In Fairfax County, you can create a blog through blackboard which makes it very user friendly.

  2. Good for you for setting it up, Joe. I think the frustration factor does prohibit many from integrating technology. That's why they need us! ;) The trick is to going through with it, working out the kinks, and as you get used to doing this it gets easier. What about looking into other free sites? I know the email address thing (needing one to log in) could be an obstacle, but perhaps there are ways around that.
