Kevin Johnson replied to Kevin Johnson's discussion District and School Events Calendars via Google Apps?"Thanks, Allison. So if I understand, you don't create a single "rolled up" district calendar and then embed that calendar. Instead, the embedded calendar combines other calendars "on the fly" so to speak.
How are the…"

I'm investigating Google Apps for Schools and wondering if anyone is using this for the events calendars for their schools and district.I would like for each school to have their own events calendar managed by someone at that school via their Google account or a dedicated "calendar" account. That calendar can then be embedded in the school's website for public consumption.Then I'd like a district calendar that included events rolled up from each school as well as the ability to add district…See More
Kevin Johnson replied to Brian St. Pierre's discussion Twitter Problem"Sometimes that kind of thing will happen accessing sites from within our district because the main url is not blocked but some supplemental url is blocked. Many sites will use another url to access javascript libraries or CSS files, etc. I've…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Lauriene Tschang's discussion Convince Administration that it is okay for teachers to use del.i.cious?"I agree that delicious itself is not a likely issue but we as a district are trying to develop direction for how to handle any such service not within district control. We want to address this without having to name every possible site out there…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Lauriene Tschang's discussion Convince Administration that it is okay for teachers to use del.i.cious?"So how do we treat services that the district doesn't own or have control over? If it is used to conduct school business, should the district have some responsibility over how it's used and therefore some level of access? Or should it be…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Lauriene Tschang's discussion Convince Administration that it is okay for teachers to use del.i.cious?"We're discussing the same issue. With more and more external services available that can have educational benefits but are used to conduct school business in some way, do we require a school email be used to sign up? Do we require some level of…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Lauriene Tschang's discussion Convince Administration that it is okay for teachers to use del.i.cious?"I haven't used del.i.cious but have been playing with Diigo.com. It seems to have a education-friendliness to it... some education-specific features.
I did have one admin once comment about the name del.i.cious. I suppose some may wonder why…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Peter Cincotta's discussion student achievement and Adequate Yearly Progress"I like our district's perspective. Indicators like test scores and AYP are part of what we use to determine where we place our focus. It isn't THE focus."
Kevin Johnson replied to MsLisaKate's discussion HP mini-note"We are just starting to use some HP Mini-notebooks in a few elem classes. I'm sure we will learn a lot in the near future. Ask me in a few months to see how it's going."
Kevin Johnson replied to Millis High School's discussion TweetDeck in Education"Wondering if that may be more complicated than, say, posting something to TeacherTube or SchoolTube (YouTube alternatives) and using the discussion features there."
Kevin Johnson replied to Peter Cincotta's discussion student achievement and Adequate Yearly Progress"Lots of potential ways to answer that.
Bad because of the bad PR associated with it?
Bad because of the extra resources needed to address consequences?
Good because it may spur improvement beyond just graduating everyone?
Moot because we're…"
Kevin Johnson replied to Carl Malartre's discussion Youtube blocked in US schools?"We block for students but not for staff.
While there is some educationally relevant content on YT, there is also plenty not appropriate for the school setting. Also sad that many videos have comments polluted with inappropriate comments…"
