I know my high school kids would agree but what about you oh mature christian you?
Amazon Releases Fully Hosted Sites
We first capture this report here on ChurchCode but it was worth mentioning here since a lot of our readers are directly impacted (or will be) by this neat new service offering by Amazon.
Essentially Amazon S3 allows hosting of static websites completely since it was hard to configure an Amazon S3 bucket as a website. But, with these new features, Amazon S3 now provides a simple and inexpensive way to host your website in one place. To get started, open the Amazon S3 Management Console, and follow these simple steps:
Blogging for Change or Simply to Vent?
Here’s another interesting story of how one “upset” teacher publicly blogged her opinions about her students and sparked some national media attention:
When high school English teacher Natalie Munroe had a bad day at school, she didn’t just vent to her husband: she took it to her blog.
Titled “Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?” and all but unknown to the world until earlier this month, Munroe’s website served as a chronicle of her “utterly loathsome” students.
In one post, she advises students to go get jobs with the trash company. In another, she calls them “rude, disengaged, lazy whiners.” In yet another she doesn’t mince words, proclaiming, “There’s no other way to say this: I hate your kid.”
Now Munroe, who has been temporarily suspended from her position, finds herself in the middle of a swirling online debate — not over what she did, but over what she said about the sometimes harsh realities of the 21st century classroom.
For me I’m always surprised to think that people who find themselves in this type of situation “never” thought about their audience and how some of the people they talk about might actually read it.
