Edline.net, an online resource for communication about all-things-school related, seems to really be blossoming this year. Students and their parents district wide have been provided with access passwords and information about the site. Assignments, up-to-date grades, lesson plans, school calenders, classroom notes, attendance information and more is all available 24 hours a day. While Edline.net has been available at Gateway for several years, the 08-09 academic year is the first time its use has been mandatory for faculty, which has greatly expanded its usage. To be honest, I've mostly just checked my kids grades, but I see them using it for much more. Between this and Moodle, the level of communication available between the district and the home seems to be moving now at a rate befitting he 21st century. I congratulate Gateway School District for being at the forefront in adopting this internet technology.
