Where do most kids "lose it" with fractions?percentages?
This is a demo from http://itrt-halifax.blogspot.com/
Things to consider:
1. If you established a somewhat intuititive, but strict pattern for naming blogs within the division, normal people (teachers/parents/kids) wouldn't have to lookup or remember complex URLs. They could figure them out on their own.
And, using a naming convention like this would provide a very good probability of getting the URL name you want. For example...
charla-itrt-halifax.blogspot.com (Personal-Professional-Location)
Terry-Math-halifax.blogspot.com (personal-specialty-Location)
math6-halifax.blogspot.com (SubjectGrade-Location)
English3-Halifax.blogspot.com
You don't even need the "halifax" portion of the name unless you want to really push the envelop and get boo-coo grant funding by extending your naming model nationally and Internationally to other school divisions. (You'd be blazing one of the first trails left by the "Virginia 1000" a true pioneer effort.)
No need to reinvent the naming pattern rules. -Just think, parents can find their teacher's blog by knowing her name, grade, and location--no techy stuff required)
Did you realize that "www" is the most wasted real estate in the whole web world?
2. Any teacher can create a blog and post to it in 30 minutes at no cost to everyone in the world.
After 4 hours of training they could be very powerful people in the blogosphere
3. No techies needed to maintain or update their blog. (Web Journal)
4. Collaboration tools such as Blogs, wikis, podcasts, and websites can easily be interlinked and laced with video and audio at any point
