I think I came up with a solution to an issue that has been bothering me for two years! I have had a website in the past, and on the website I include a volunteer calendar so parents can keep track of the dates they signed up for, as well as see open dates. Then they would email me if they want to sign up for a date and I would update the calendar. It seemed a little tedious, but it was better than my old method of having the calendar in the hall and having parents come in to fill in dates they wanted. Of course, that is also now a security issue and much more of a hassle and disturbance for parents to come in to do that.
At the Technology Workshop at Indian Hill today, it all of the sudden hit me--I could try to create a wiki volunteer calendar that would allow parents to click on the designated dates and sign up to volunteer on the calendar themselves, eliminating the middle man-me!! I created one and have a link to it from my new website I'm creating. It's still in the rough draft stages, but I have high hopes that it works well this year!
You can check it out here, but I'd appreciate you not making any changes to it right now. :o)
