Take your School's Website from Good to Great
Many schools have yet to take advantage of the web. Perhaps it's just that confusing technical requirements have put off these schools. Maybe your school has a website, but it’s old or outdated or simply lacking the professional look that you desire. Maybe teachers simply don't have the time or lack confidence in their IT skills.
That’s where Box Clever comes in.
We create websites that are fun and easy to use for non-technical staff. The web-based interface allows staff to log on to the site and update content instantly and easily. No special software is needed and no formal training is required. Here's what we can do for you:
Dynamic Web Site
Most school websites are "static". Content is entered in website editing software such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and uploaded onto the web where it stays until the webmaster makes changes to the site. For schools, this usually means that one person is responsible for editing and maintaining the site. That person can only make changes when they are in the school building, working on the computer that has the necessary software. They need to know a little HTML, a little about the software, and a little about managing graphics on the web.
Imagine updating your school website from home on a snow-day when the busses aren't running... the site becomes updated instantly!
Box Clever can take your website to the next level. By making the site dynamic, we remove the need for specialized web software. The editing of pages on the site is accomplished with any web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or whatever you prefer. The interface is familiar - it looks just like Microsoft Word. You can make text bold, add weblinks, and make lists and bullets, all with no knowledge of HTML. The website can also be edited from any computer with an Internet connection. Imagine updating your school website from home on snow-day when the busses aren't running... the site becomes updated instantly!
By moving away from specialized software, the website can now be edited by multiple users. Teachers no longer have to send any change requests to the webmaster, they simply log-in to the website and make any changes that they need instantly.
Automatic Image Formatting
Today's digital cameras are becoming less expensive for higher and higher resolution models. Many schools have invested in digital cameras and are using them to catalogue their school events and even produce their yearbooks. This digital technology also makes it easier to share images on the web. However, large high-resolution pictures result in long download times and inefficient websites. Box Clever has a web-module that will take your high resolution pictures and re-size and compress them for optimal viewing on-line. This technology can also be used to create digital photo-galleries and online scrapbooks to showcase the school community.
eTeacher Module
The eTeacher module is the next step in Dynamic Website creation. Each teacher in a school can have a mini-website within the school site. They can post homework assignments, publish information on special events, provide links to website resources, and publish a personal biography to introduce themselves to students and parents. The eTeacher site is a one time module addition that can have any number of teachers available online.
