Topic: Getting Started
Last week Amy Garrett Dikkers suggested several blogs of interest to school administrators. I've visited them all and found that two are the work of school principals. The Butlerville Elementary School weblog was created by Pamela Coates and the Meriwether Lewis Elementary School is maintained by Tim Lauer. I've contacted both principals and each of them reports that the parents are quite pleased with the schools' weblog Web sites. Lauer also send home a print newsletter each week, to keep parents who don't have online access up-to-date, but says it's easy to do because the weblog creates an archive that becomes the foundation of the newsletter. His teachers also post Classroom Notes at least once each week and these entries are also sent home.
Coates' teachers have individual blogs linked to the school's weblog.
Lauer also maintains his own personal blog.
Does anyone out there know of additional examples of blogging administrators?
