Drupal-icious

Drupal-icious: Getting Started in Dynamic School Websites was the name of the session I co-presented at this year's Illinois Computing Educators Conference. It was a kind of 5,000 foot overview of what Drupal is and how it can be used for school district web needs. You can find our handout HERE. Seems silly in retrospect handing out papers with things like URLs on them. But presenters, myself included, still print handouts assuming that attendees are expecting them. Perhaps we will forgo a handout at the ISTE conference coming up in June. There we will be doing a longer more hands-on session with Drupal.

I personally think the new Race and Ethnicity Data Standards from Illinois are somewhat convoluted. But schools have to collect it. This PowerSchool object report is based off of ISTE's example form to collect the new data. You can find it in the PS reports section.

Dirty Desktops?

My newest creation... Desktop Squeegee is a easy solution for the desktop clutter that can accumulate on school Macs with local user accounts.
