Diary Update, 28th August 2005
|
|
|
I am Alison Butcher, Depute Head of Kellands Primary School currently on secondment as ICT Project Officer for Aberdeenshire
Kellands school already had a website which had been produced by the Headteacher using Word. As the site grew in size it became more difficult to navigate and uploading photos proved to be a problem. It was also becoming more desirable for sections of the site to have restricted access, for example the teaching zone and the pupil zone, thus the Headteacher was keen to be involved on the Scottish Schools Online Pilot to see if take2theWeb would allow these tasks to be done and at the same time give the site a more professional look.
After the initial Scottish Schools Get Online planning meeting in Stirling in March I decided that it would also be useful to have another school with no website at present to experience production from scratch. For details on this see the Cluny School diary on Take2theWeb. The Cluny site was produced first, so by the times I started working on the Kellands site I was familiar with the Take2theWeb software. I also didn’t use the questionnaire for parents as the site had already existed for two years and felt that a questionnaire after production would more useful to see how parents liked the changes.
As the original Kellands site was regularly updated it was a quick two day job in the summer holidays to plan the organisations of pages using inspiration then to copy some of the content from one site to the other. Apart from the photographic banner I was aware that I was giving it a similar appearance to the Cluny site so I arranged to see the Headteacher the first week of term and after training him on how using the software left him to add other content pictures etc so that it would have a different feel to the Cluny site. He found it relatively easy to use and every day something new was being added. It is now a very extensive site and once the school web team gets going the children will add their contributions.
The iPod was used to add commentary to the video and it is intended, hopefully, that once the headteacher goes on exchange to Australia at Christmas we keep him informed of events at Kellands by monthly podcasts from the web team.
