It was supposed to be the wave of the future. School web sites would keep parents informed, students up to date, and would allow interactivity between all through groups to increase. It didn't happen; instead, most school web sites languish empty and out of date, their usage measured in single digits. What happened? Well, it turned out that it's a lot harder than people thought to post regular updates. And not all schools and teachers wanted to post updates. In many cases, the service or hosting company went out of business. But mostly, it seems to me, it bogged down in a bureaucratic mire. Like this: "My argument to the county was that if I wanted to post homework assignments, it didn't do me any good to wait a few days. Their argument was that they wanted to monitor what went out."
