school website yourself. What will you write today's school news to be?Archive page for Tuesday, 14 November 2006
Tu, Nov 14, 2006Yesterday's traffic to all sites
| More rune reading. First me... Quite a bit of my human hits 342 come in to old archive pages via Google searches, usually for 'schools in Walsall' or something to do with the lesson plans I've written. My site's been up for just over a year so I have lots of 'old' content. 64 member hits-that's me updating. |
Craig y Don has a growing backlog of archived posts attracting Google traffic. One update yesterday brought some traffic too. How do I know, I look at the reads for the news item in their discussion group (129, when I looked just now) and their hits to their home page.
Rough Hay... They had loads of member views (328), as you'd expect with so many new members and 8 new front page posts, all approved by the Head. The search engines will start indexing their site more often, the more often they update. (Search engines will return daily, if you update daily—they're always looking for fresh stuff..)
Not sure what's happening at Croft. Pudsey's new building continues to get new traffic, perhaps even old traffic coming back to check it wasn't a dream :-)I bet most parents would
Sharp increase in home education (in Scotland): "Bullying is the biggest issue along with special needs, and rural school closures. There is a systemic failure in that schools don't seem to be catering for individual children anymore."
After reading about Bloom's group pupils getting 50% and individually taught pupils getting 98% I wondered, myself, if home was best. They'd miss out on playing with other kids though. And I'd have to give up work, and live on fresh air.
8 updates in an hour
Rough Hay in Darlaston, Walsall, had a flurry of activity yesterday. 8 updates from members of staff! Initially they were made members, then they created the news items, then the Head approved them for the front page. I'm sure their reporting will get better and better, this is their first ever blog posting remember.
If they could keep this up they'd get loads of traffic everyday. Sooner, they'll find their blog voice and post news about the general locality and would become a community hub for the school and the local area. BTW this is what a school is in any case. Listen to the buzz at the school gates! All I'm asking is that you take some of that—the useful stuff, and put it on the web.
Can't wait till they start putting pix into their site.
