Using the Comments Section of the Connection Blog

One of the new features of our interactive Connection blog is the comments section. This allows every employee to post a comment, question or suggestion to any Connection article. This section is moderated. So what does that mean? When a comment is posted, it goes through an approval process that looks for profane language, slanderous or overtly negative comments or anything that would not legally be appropriate for the Web. Otherwise it goes up. What doesn’t happen is editing or altering of the comment. When a comment is made, everyone can read it.

This will allow for others to voice their opinion as well, make an additional comment or answer a question. It is a great tool for two-way communication. You have the option of using your name or posting anonymously.
We hope you find the comments feature of the blog beneficial to achieving our mutual goals.

To make a comment, click on the title of a specific article and scroll to the bottom of it, where you will find a link named Post Comment. You can then type your comment and choose whether or not you use your name or whether you leave an anonymous comment. If you have any questions about the comments section, please contact Brenda Gustafson at bgustafson@aea11.k12.ia.us.

  1. Is there any way to have a PDF Connection option as before? Many employees download the PDF when online to read later on their desktop if they do not have online access. This also gives me a reminder to read it when I have time as oppose to missing it my email when I do not read it right away.

  2. It would take a great deal of time to duplicate the newsletter, and we went to this style for two way communication, to link easily and to have a table of contents and archive that would be easier to find past articles. We can put a modified one up but it will not have the attachments.
