This Wordpress site is starting to expand and host sites outside of the purely academic realm. If you look down the side bar on the right, you should notice that the categories of links are expanding. We have added a blog, hosted by Mr. Medlock, for the JSRHS Softball Team. Mr. Medlock will administer this site and will use it as a way to get information out to his players in a new way. You will also notice on the right a link to the Spanish Honor Society. This blog will be administered by Ms. Chartier and Mr. Dunn and will also serve the purpose of disseminating information to club members about events, news and other important information. Coming soon, our Wordpress site will host blogs for DECA and the Leo’s Club and perhaps a blog for our own school store.
The Technology Department at John Stark is looking at new ways to allow teachers and groups to communicate with their stakeholders in ways that are individualized to their needs. Our main school website, www.jsrhs.net, is our public face with highly controlled content, themes and organizational structures. It does not allow for the individualized freedom of expression that our Wordpress MU (multi-user) blog software does. As we continue to expand the role of our Wordpress site, we will also begin to allow students to have accounts and post original content on their own. This added feature of allowing students access to a content delivery site like this will open new lines of communication for them in what we hope is an exciting and engaging way.
If you are a member of the JSRHS community (teacher, coach, advisor or student) and would like more information on our Wordpress site and how you can be a part of it, see Mr. Law in the Technology Department.
