Wow! Last Friday I posted a question on SEGATech. I was curious as to what role technology would play in Georgia's schools as we began helping displaced students fleeing Hurricane Katrina's destruction. I visited our state's Department of Education website and, to my surprise, saw that there had been a complete digital make-over (note: there is a link to the regular website). I'm impressed. Our DOE is wisely using internet-based resources to help the displaced parents and students of Louisiana as they attempt to become assimilated within our classrooms. Systems, schools, administrators, community members, parents and educators with questions about Georgia's educational efforts to alleviate Katrina's impact now have a timely means of answering them. Good work, Kathy Cox! I'll be willing to bet that the Louisiana DOE is very appreciative as well.
