Weekend Update 3

It has been a very impressive month for the Middletown Web Challenge Blog.  Not only have some great tools been posted through the collaboration of the Technology Integration Teams, but the overwhelming support from the staff has been phenomenal.  As we have done the past 2 weekends, here are some of the statistics:

Total Number of Page Views:  4180
Total Number of Comments:  301
Average Number of Views Per Post:  278.7
Web Tool With the Most Comments:  Blogger (51 comments)
Number of Continents Viewing Blog:  4

We are slightly more than halfway through the challenge and we are looking for an even more impressive 2nd half.  Coming soon will be posts on Google Apps, Twitter, WeVideo and much more.  Please continue to view and comment on everything you are learning.  Remember that every comment you make will enter you into the contest to win the very special prize at the end.  You know, it's about time we stop beating around the bush and just tell you what you can win.  Dr. George has purchased a beautiful, brand new...

But, as they say "You must be in it to win it!" so keep those comments coming.  Now, a word from our sponsors.

Archipelago Learning just signed on as one of our sponsors and some of their products will be given away as prizes at the end of the Web Challenge.  Archipelago brings us such great programs as Study Island, and Northstar Learning.  These programs provide in-depth and varied methods for practice and assessment in different levels of learning for both math and English classrooms.  Focused on a standards-based approach to assessment, Study Island helps students tailor their guided practice around topics and skills that will help them be successful both in class and on state standardized tests like the NJASK and HSPA.  From their website 

"Since 2000, Study Island, from Archipelago Learning, has been building and marketing online, state standards-based learning programs that are the most effective and easiest to use of their kind. Our in-house technical development and content teams design and create our programs, which are then sold to schools on a subscription basis through our direct sales force. Used by millions of students in thousands of schools across the United States, all of our programs are built specifically from state standards and are designed to create a very user-friendly experience for both students and teachers alike."

We greatly appreciate the support of Archipelago Learning in the advancement of learning for both students and staff in Middletown!
