Editing User:Dave/workspace/2012 online assessment

As a new parent at [[Sagamore Hills Elementary School]] in 2012, I'd like to know that Sagamore is utilizing online resources.  [[Sagamore Hills online|Sagamore Hills online efforts are getting documented]], and here I'd like to '''document what [[Oak Grove Elementary School]] is doing online''', as a comparable.

==District Website==

Their district website, at <code>http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/oakgrove</code>…

I notice the Oak Grove homepage speaking to current parents—which I think is the right focus—with announcements, resources, and news channels (mailing list, twitter). Contrast with Sagamore Hill's which seems marketing fluff.  I also like that Oak Grove has more navigation up front, where Sagamore Hills is more buried under sub-menus.

Classrooms actually have a presence online that seems up to date, though some are rather static (but still useful).  Messages from teachers, homework, resources…  They seem to be hosted at various places:

The site is link rich, pointing to many useful resources, many so cool they're password protected (the district pays for them).  Quite a bit of up-to-date reports are also provided, like what the library is up to.
