school website yourself. What will you write today's school news to be?Archive page for Wednesday, 07 September 2005
We, Sep 7, 2005Another new trick
We've just added another feature. 
If you're a logged in editor, you can fill in a title, tick a few boxes to select the news items required, hit the button and print 250 copies.
Ta-da! A newsletter machine.
Post the news, timetables, reminders, to your website, as they happen, then at weekly, fortnightly, or monthly intervals, select the ones you want to print, and print. Just want the sport, just pick the sports. Just want notes to parents...
I need to customise the finished page to your school, add some logos, addresses... Later, I'll get some more layouts to select from. Modern, traditional, Xmas... Ede.
This is a nice place to store those little tidbits, now, in your website, they're searchable, commentable—I make these words up. More to the point, linkable. Others can link to your news item about the book fair...

Blogging is helping students to think and write more critically, says an Australian researcher, and can help draw out people who would otherwise not engage in debate.
These are the preliminary findings of PhD research by Anne Bartlett-Bragg, a lecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney, who has been using weblogs or blogs in her own teaching since 2001.
"[The students] are thinking more critically," she says. "They are learning to be responsible and they're communicating outside the boundaries of the classroom and the institution, and they like that."
She says one of the most powerful facilities in weblogs is pinging, which involves a person posting a comment about someone else's work on their own blog.
They use the 'TrackBack' tool to notify the author when they have published the comment, basically inviting them to discuss it.
"It alerts the original author that someone has written about them. That's powerful."
Firstly, get your school a weblog! Then, when it's more ingrained start your kids blogging too. 'Slowly, slowly, catch-ye-monkey.'

The high turnover of teachers from some struggling schools would not be stemmed by higher wages, a study suggests.
Poor pupil behaviour and overwork are the barriers stopping teachers working in challenging schools, reports the Institute for Public Policy Research.
