Since I am not at a school site, I really didn't give this much thought, until I read your last post. Your well thought-out post, reflective of your practical experience at a school site and your awareness of the social networking within that school, will be so helpful when working with educators from the school sites in my district. Even though the schools in my district vary quite a bit from yours, the fundamentals are still the same. Search and subscribe to feeds about the school, and check those feeds regularly. Create a group on the social network of choice. Great advice. Your last post prompted me to do some searching on Wikipedia and Facebook for schools in my distirct. http://jstearns.org/wp/2008/05/24/our-online-profile-is-showing/ They are on Wikipedia, but seem to mostly be showing up on MySpace. Urban schools seem to do that. Educators at the schools need to know how to find this and make use of it. I'll be sharing this post. Thanks. Hi Jeff,

That's interesting for sure! I love Google Analytics and am planning to put it on our student blog site and our teacher blog site for next year...that is as long as the phishing problem is fixed. I think it's a great took to gather data on educational sites like this to show administrators that people really are looking at these pages. Thanks John for the heads up.

Google Analytics is an informative tool yet there seems to be one problem. It seems that some Internet Security software tools and the latest versions of IE unwittingly warn readers that pages with Google Analytics in the code are possible 'phishing' sites. I am still following this up to determine which tools and which versions. The browsers on the Macs at my school all display my home page with no problem. The PCs running Windows XP and the most recent version of IE do not. They all display a 'phishing' alert. It is a dilemma. I am removing the code in the meantime. Cheers, John Hi Jeff

We should chat sometime on how you envision this working. We're building pages for schools and school organizations right now, actually! And, I agree. When I was teaching all my kids were asking me to add them as a friend. As far as I know, we’re the only team in the FB ecosystem trying to build solutions for schools.

I have already forwarded it to my district administrative team and conversations have already begun. I intend to continue the conversation in my blog http://markpennington.wordpress.com/ Jeff,
