Hi South Broward Team:
First of all, thank you for the invitation to join the blog. I am very pleased to be working with all of you. I have been looking over some of the work your students have posted on Google Doc and and it is wonderful and quite extensive!
Please let me know if anyone needs help. I will be happy to do what I can!
I would like to ask that all the project teachers drop me a line (actually Comment) just say hello so we can meet virtually. Tell me a little about how the work on the project is going. Also share with me any plans, problems, or concerns with the final presentation of all this wonderful work your students have accomplished in December.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you.
Sincerely,
Karen Diaz

Why Students Cannot Create Web Pages
I got a reply from my supervisor who asked Sally House for the policy regarding student created web pages. Here is the info from Sally:
We usually discourage students from creating and publishing web pages even
in context of the project because the teacher is not in control of what
gets posted. We would prefer that the students create content that a
teacher could upload or create a web page that is not published (viewed
locally on a machine)
Here are the district basic rules for web pages
Ethical use of telecommunications
Written permission from the parent (this is done at the beginning of each
year when the Code & Conduct books are sent home
Published student work must have approval from the school administrator
and must be in context of a project
No identifying information about the location of the student during the
day, no student email links, no student phone numbers or addresses or
family members full names, addresses etc,
Neither students nor staff may publish personal web pages as a part of the
external district web pages.
Here is one section of the district policy on Technology Use
Web Page Procedural Guidelines
General Guidelines:
•All persons developing or maintaining web documents are responsible for
complying with district Web Page and Acceptable
Use Policies. (See Section 5 of Policy #5306)
(http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/sbbcpolicies/docs/P5306.000.pdf )
•Written parental permission is required when an individual student is
identified by name in a picture included on a web page.
•Web page documents may not include a student’s phone number, address, or
complete names of any family members and/or
friends.
•Web page documents may not include any information which indicates the
physical location of a student at a given time, other
than attendance at a particular school or participation in activities.
•Web publishing of e-mail addresses is restricted to staff members or to a
general, group e-mail address.
•Web pages must not contain any student e-mail links.
