Because ASCD International is running out of space on their web server, Alberta ASCD needed to find a new home for our web site. We have taken the opportunity to redevelop the site using Wiki software. This software provides Alberta ASCD and registered users almost limitless possibilities to interact and share information that is valuable to teachers across Alberta.
Apart from being able to discuss articles and to contribute new material, users will also be able to check out upcoming Alberta ASCD events and keep on top of what is going on in our organization. We encourage you to take a few minutes to explore and enjoy our new home online, and welcome any feedback. If you have any questions or comments please hit the "discussion" link above and leave your thoughts, or email us.
The current trend in the computer industry is toward software that is free to use (called Open Source software) and can be modified to suit the needs of it's users. The software package used here is an Open Source product called MediaWiki . MediaWiki is used for many Wiki sites the most famous of which is Wikipedia. Both the operation and navigation around this site is similar to that used in Wikipedia, but check out "Getting Started" if you need more information on how to make the most of our new website.
This site uses wiki technology so that you can:
We hope you enjoy these features and gain extra value as a result.
