Web development resources

I'm glad to see you're interested in what it takes to create a web page within the district.  This page contains links to resources created or selected specifically for web page development in our district.  Please look through the resources we have; if they leave you with even more questions, as they are likely to do, you can also contact Julie Tiedens for a training session.

Design Guidelines
To keep our pages looking their best and accessible to everyone, a set of guidelines has been developed.  Among the topics covered are image size, the use of tables and javascript.

School District Policy
The school board has created a policy regarding our use of the web.  This is the place to go if you have questions about how to use student names or pictures--or just about anything else.  I strongly recommend reading this document before you start creating pages for our web.

Copyright permission form
Did you know that our students retain copyright on their class work?  We need to ask permission from them to use their work--and it's a great way to teach them the importance of copyright.

Copyright resources
In selecting and creating resources for our students, we do need to consider copyright issues.  Below you'll find links to a few places to start reading more about the topic.

Webmaster's maintenance schedule
Webmasters and those involved in publishing on the school web should keep in mind our maintenance schedule.  Help out your school's webmaster and keep your links updated!

Link checker
Speaking of helping our your friendly webmaster--you can check your own links.  Find your home page, copy it's address from your browser, and type it into form on this page.  If you want to check more than just your first page, check the "Check linked documents recursively"  Then, enter how deep you want to check your links.  Click "Check" and sit back.  This may take a little while, but it's worth it.
