He is the superintendent and I wrote about his efforts here. http://ideasandthoughts.org/2006/05/18/the-end-of-a-very-interesting-experiment/ I'm really trying to encourage our principals and adminstrators to blog. The Edustange blog is a prinicipal in our division so that's encouraging. Hopefully I'll discover a few more through the comments posted here. Scott,

At the conference I learned of blogging from Will Richardson. I must confess I'm hooked and you can check out my new blog at ghsprincipal.edublogs.org.

Mercer Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000 http://annahein.com/2006/09/administrator_b.html#comment-15471 My impression is that most superintendents and principals tend to use robo-dial phone systems to contact parents and the public. The downside is that with so many phone calls going out from schools, sometimes the parents tune out, because they cannot control the time and place of the phone call. I wonder why they never consider doing what I do, which is to create the podcast, post it on the web, and do the automated phone call. That way, if folks miss it, they can pick it up online at their convenience. If you want to get principals podcasting, ask them if they use an automated phone system to stay in touch, if they do, they could be ripe to switch over or add podcasting.
