I’m part of a team that’s putting together a really neat opportunity for some NWP sites to gather and think strategically about their online presences and how they can support their site work, and vice versa.  I’ve got plenty of thoughts about tools to use and examples and whatnot, but I’m trying to think right now about particular resources that we might make available both at our retreat as well as to others who want to think strategically about their online work. 
    When I say strategically, what I mean is that instead of thinking about what we can do, we want to encourage folks to think about what they should do, who should be involved, and how that can impact their sites, their work, and their different stakeholders.  Basically, we want to encourage strategic and critical thinking about online work. 
    Just because we can build something doesn’t necessarily mean that we should, right? 
    It’s a tricky question for me.  I stand very proudly(sometimes) in the "look how cool this is!" camp — even though I know that good teaching and good tech implementation is about more than just the wow factor.
    There needs to be a good reason that we do what we do.   Neat, as I’ve said before and will say again, is not a pedagogically-sound reason to do something.
Anyway, before I wander too far into reflective land, what tools or resources might you be using to think critically about the online presence for your school, group, or organization?  How do you make these types of decisions?  Whom do you involve? #
