***Very Rough Draft***
Template-Based Teacher Web Pages
This article starts out talking about Brewster Central School District, a school district North of New York City. This story starts in the fall of 2002 and talks about their efforts to enhance the district web site. I decided to check out the district web site.
All Brewster's teacher's page:
I chose one teacher at random. Horrified by the garish colors and blinking images: I wondered, am I in Las Vegas? What sort of template did this teacher use? I won't name the teacher. Perhaps it is a culture difference between mellow San Diego and the other side of the country; I don't know.
Not to be discouraged, I ventured on. One disappointing experience should not stop me. I chose this article because it was pertinent to the 422 class assignment of designing our our own web teacher sites.
I found myself curious why I was reading such an “old” article; so much has changed since 2002. In technology terms, a decade is a long, long time.

Tom,
ReplyDeleteYour acticle was about teachers making their own websites back in 2002? Did they say in the article that making a website was easy and did they want each teacher to make their own?Was there more to the article? Were they one of the first schools to have a website?
Again, I really like how you start out your journals with wordle, it's like your signature art!
