getting started on ning

This summer I created a social networking site for the teachers and staff of Milltown Schools. If you like facebook, or have ever used or wondered about sites like myspace, check out the MilltownPS ning. It will be a private space, for Milltown employees only, to discuss education or anything else you want, to share resources that we find. I think it will help us all to grow as a school family, and you can contribute as much or as little as you choose.It's public right now, to give everyone the opportunity to check it out before you join. So come see the page and join it! If you have any trouble, watch the video displayed below for an easy walkthrough.

Windows Movie Maker

I created the Getting Started video on Windows Movie Maker, an easy program that is on every Windows computer we have!
Just another cool trick I learned in school...

Let's Blog

Is summer over yet? It isn't as I write this, but it sure doesn't feel like August 10, either. Brrr...
So this is our library blog. Are you new to blogs? They are an easy way to create content for, or write on the world wide web. You can write blogs about any number of different things, and for any number of purposes. You can even use blogs to get your students involved in projects with kids at other schools. But before we do that, we should practice a little ourselves. Here are a few common uses for blogs:

• a personal journal about yourself or your family
  
• opinions on current topics in education or the world
  
• post your own reviews of books you've read or movies you've seen
• post your family photos for people to see
• share video or audio podcasts

The Parkview Library blog will probably be used to let you all know what's new in the library, but I reserve the right to just share my thoughts about-whatever!

I will help anyone here learn to use blogs. Give me a call in the library, email me bwright@milltownps.org, or leave a comment here on the blog.
