Job Posting System: Feedback Wanted

Hello all - I am pasting below the link that Tyler sent us, which could serve as an example job posting system:

http://www.preventionresearch.org/sprcareers.php

If any of you have any thoughts on how we could improve on this, please post a reply outlining your suggestions.

Also, Tyler is interested in identifying a member or members who would be willing and able to work closely with him on working through some of the details of this and subsequent aspects of the Web development process. Please let it be known if this is a role you'd like to take on. Any takers???

Cheers,
Mark

Survey: Communication Media Opinions?

During yesterday morning's GSO talk, we discussed some items we would like to see to improve our experience in the SREE GSO. First and foremost, it was mentioned that it would be great to have a job posting/source. Secondly, the participants mentioned that they would like additional ways to connect, either through webinars, blogs, wikis, listserv, etc.

This blog is a stab at a quick-and-easy way to maintain communication. I envision something like the AAAI05's Student Conference blog, except that it extends beyond simply reporting upon SREE conference events, to include interesting reports from the education science world. In short, a blog. This blog is a place to share resources, interesting lectures, applicable conferences, questions, ideas, job postings, and anything else you deem suitable. Anyone authorized can post, and anyone can comment.



What do you envision as a communication forum? A blog? A wiki? A message board?
What do you expect/want from this blog?

How-To: Add This Blog to Your Google Reader

An RSS feed is a way to receive updates from a website or a blog, as it's updated. Some tools allow you to receive these updates directly to your email address, but some tools allow you to visit all the updates you subscribed to in a central location.

Google Reader lets you subscribe to this blog's updates-feed, so you can read the blog posts (as they're posted) in one location. Plus, Google Reader will keep track of which posts you have and haven't read!

Instructions



  1. Get a Google account. If you have a Gmail account, this step is already done!

  2. Go to Google Reader.

  3. Click the 'Add a subscription' button in the upper left:



  4. Type this blog's URL (http://sreegso.blogspot.com/) into the little pop-up textbox:


  5. Click the 'Add' button just right of the textbox.

  6. You've added the SREE GSO blog to your Google Reader Feed! Now just visit Google Reader anytime you wish to read the blog, and it will tell you which posts are new.
