I agree that creating a website can be overwhelming, even when using sites like Weebly or Google Sites, which provide users with templates and drag-and-drop functionality. Bandwidth and time are key factors when it comes to Lenora’s situation which compound the difficulty she will encounter trying to build her site. Assuming that increasing her bandwidth is not an option, then I believe that Lenora should look in a different direction to get the anti-bullying resource online.
Social Media offers Lenora various avenues that are easier to manage and require lower bandwidth. Lenora could create a blog (perhaps through her organizations website) which would allow her to post ideas and suggestions from other teachers and have followers respond. The dialogue could become an invaluable resource in the anti-bullying discussion and may prove to be more meaningful then a traditional website.
In addition, Lenora could create a Facebook group and a professional Twitter handle to post/tweet links to relevant material online. Both Facebook and Twitter require a much smaller bandwidth and can be accomplished on a mobile device. Through the Cradleboard Teaching Project Teacher’s Circle, Lenora could quickly amass a large number of followers and have her circle of influence grow quick rapidly.
Because blogging, Facebook and Twitter are all mobile platforms, Lenora could accomplish a lot of her online work while at work or after school. This would allow for more ‘family’ time when she got home. Ease of use, and easy access are features that I believe will help Lenora is spreading her message.
