What is
WenCat?
Why have
WenCat?
Many creative people in the Wenatchee Public Schools are authoring Web Pages that could be used in a variety of classrooms. Up to now, one could only locate these pages through a general Web search engine or by perusing the homepages of the District Office and the various Wenatchee schools. This catalogue serves as a centralized “clearinghouse” so that these works might be showcased for generalized viewing and reference.
Why keep
WenCat “local”?
There are several advantages to accessing online work developed within our own Wenatchee school district. First, common resources benefit teachers working to establish common, articulated curricula among all Wenatchee schools. When we share our work within and among buildings, we eliminate much “reinventing of the wheel,” saving everyone time and effort. Availability of such resources, yoked to district achievement objectives, encourages teachers to implement computer-based technology in their classrooms. An added bonus of highlighting local tools is ease of consulting with the authors of such materials; not only may they be contacted through E-mail, they also may be reached by a simple local telephone call.
Why are only
certain Web Pages featured on WenCat?
May people
outside of Wenatchee access WenCat?
Yes! Since WenCat is uploaded to the World Wide Web, anyone with Web access may view its contents and access its links. Teachers elsewhere might find WenCat to be a helpful resource as they develop instructional materials.
May I use
anything and everything listed on WenCat in my classroom?
Some teachers are more sensitive to issues of copyright than others. This is understandable, considering that many have invested untold hours, effort, and even dollars into developing these materials and gaining the technology skills to compose Web Pages. Read carefully any notations on the pages regarding copyright and permission for use of the materials. When in doubt, it’s always wise and ethical to send an E-mail to the page author requesting permission to use and/or adapt the materials located at a Web Site. As with all resources, online authors should receive acknowledgement whenever their creations are used by others.
How do I
submit online postings to WenCat?
If
you are an employee of the Wenatchee Public Schools who has authored material
posted to the Internet, you may submit suggestions for “WenCat-aloguing” by
sending an E-mail message to the following address: bentsen.c@mail4.wsd.wednet.edu. Please be sure to include the URL of the Web
Page to be considered, as well as a brief explanation of its contents. Your submission will be reviewed, and you
will be contacted via an E-mail reply when a decision has been made about
whether and where it will be included on WenCat.

The set is posted at the “General Learning and Teaching” section of the Wenatchee School District homepage; it is accessed by an internal link at “Art.” There is an introductory page and index.
