March Newsletter

Billy Connolly once said, you can tell someone’s age by the time it takes them to get out of a bean bag. It was also only recently true that you could tell someone’s age by their connection to social media. Digital did equal young.  Not today, but some people continue to fall into this trap. Digital does not equal young; ignore this at your peril.  

Let me give you the drum from someone who’s entered his 4th decade of mobile phone usage, is hooked on technology and may I add, takes 6.5 seconds to extricate themself from a beanbag – you kind of get an idea of how old I am. I’m not here carrying a torch for the boomers but merely reminding a new audience that WE HAVE BEEN IN THE TECHNOLOGY GAME FOR A LONG TIME! There…I feel better now.

With the start of a new school year, no doubt there have been lots of staff changeovers, comings and goings. It’s good web housekeeping to notify us of all changes so we can remove and/or add people from the CMS so they can access your website. The sponsor-ed Help Desk can organise any changes for you, you will just need to email them at helpdesk@sponsor-ed.com.au

We now have over 200 schools onboard, predominately in Victoria. With such an amazing growth rate and with many schools wanting to learn how to use their website to it’s full potential, we have put together a series of Professional Development Days in April.

We will be emailing an invite to participate later this month.
