Why Schools Publish on the Internet
Why Schools are Publishing on the Internet - Details
Promoting the School and School Activities
within the Wider Community:
Beyond the pedagogical benefits of publishing on the Internet, schools are
using the web as an important medium for reaching prospective families, past
pupils and promoting events and activities in their wider community. By putting
a version of the school prospectus online, schools are allowing prospective
families to read about the school's ethos, sample student works and be provided
with important contact information. Past pupil associations are beginning to
play a heightened role in fund raising and the support of schools, and a
school's web site can serve as an important role in maintaining contact with
graduates. As a tool for reaching the wider community, special events such as
the school play, school fund drives and championship matches can be promoted
weeks in advance via a school home page.
