    Buffalo City School District (BSCD) TIS Kathleen Emhof's teacher web page. The site is clean, efficient and provides or links to many staff resources. Three features really stand out . First the subpages under the section My Home Page are written in a conversational tone. I think that has an inviting appeal. Second is the use of the Calendar feature of the home page. This moves the lab scheduling off her shoulders and encourages the staff to plan and communicate with each other. Third and lastly, making all relevant itech forms available to the staff. I have just a few suggestions: - consider password protecting the teacher resources page - create separate student/parent resource section

    You can have the ultimate webpage, but the true end goal is getting teachers and others to use it. That takes a great deal of diplomacy. Hillary, are you listening?

    Ken, thank you for highlighting one of our colleagues pages. One of the areas I believe we must focus more on is improving teacher pages among the teachers (or just get them to start one!).
