SRS 2.0

So I was asked, “SRS 2.0, what are you going to do?” I thought about this, how might I prepare our teachers to use tools that are Web 2.0. So today, I worked on setting up all of our teacher’s with a WordPress account on our website- I’ll put their links on a blogroll. Each of them will have access to their own blog and can use the blog to their own content. The ideas of using this blog are endless. Last year, we had political debates and book talks using blogs. What will this year hold?

Last year we dipped our feet into the Google Apps for Education and we just scratched the surface. This year each teacher will have access to the SRS Calendar where they are able to add important items onto the the calendar. The ways grades are posted will be revised …and a whole slew of other things.

Lastly, I think SRS 2.0 means to me the further step of us going paperless by 2009. All of our technology forms will be online for parents/guardians to submit. No long line in the computer lab to complete the signing. I’ll keep updating as the summer progresses forward.
