The Arkansas Department of Education now has a blog. Now, how cool is that?
ADE Briefs, online just since January, makes me wonder if a school district should consider posting updates via a blog as a means of communicating with parents. Coincidentally, this thought falls just, literally, minutes since I sent an email to all our faculty requesting news from them to insert into a parent e-newsletter that I hope to send out tomorrow.
On such a blog, teachers could brag, counselors could inform, administrators could share building and district news. Students could even be invited to post exemplary class work.
Do you know of any schools hosting a blog as another avenue of keeping parents informed and involved within their districts?
Uhmmm…I am going to ponder on this more.
