CSH Updates, News & Research Blog, CSH Conferences, Events CalendarThis is a featured page

This page acts as a focal point for Canadian school health news. It includes blog, news from the CSH Knowledge Network, announcements about our and other conferences, a customized search engine and more.

Our Blog:

The blog is used for announcements sent to the 2500 members of the CSH Knowledge Network. It is updated weekly (see below) and new pages are created each month, while storing the previous months in our archive. We track Canadian news and research and post brief references on this page with web links. All of these items are published in our quarterly newsletter, Knowledge Matters. The blog is also fed by a Twitter-based newsfeed that can be embedded in your web site. Find the code and instructions for your tech person in this attached document. Contact info@cash-aces.ca to learn how this feature can be be used to attract visitors to your web site.

We encourage visitors to this page to post news items in a one sentence format (see below for examples). Use the "Easy Edit" tool at the top of the page to open up the page for editing. Don't worry, all previous versions of the page are stored, so we can't lose anything if you have any trouble. (We reserve the right to edit the posts.) Please keep your announcements as brief as possible and create links to other web sites so that wiki members can go there for more information.

CSH Events Calendar

We also encourage visitors to this web site and CSH Network members to post their events in our CSH Events Calendar. Simply go to that page to learn how to post your announcements..

CSH Knowledge Network News

Don't forget to read the latest news from the CSH Knowledge Network. The postings provide updates from our several Communities of Practice as well as various national projects and conferences. See our our CASH Conferences section for news about upcoming conferences as well as an archive of our previous annual conferences.

Customized Search Engine for Canadian CSH News

Use our Google customized search engine for Canadian newspapers.

Announcements

New Features on www.canadianschoolhealth.ca In our continuing effort to use technology effectively, we have added a couple of features to the web site. These include:

  • Enabling the chairs of our Communities of Practice to communicate with CoP members through designated “friends” lists within the membership of the web site
  • Adding Instant Message boxes onto a “Drop-In - Office Hours” page in the web site. During next school year, we will designate times, topics and resource people that will be available to answer questions through private or public IM messages or to drop into an informal “web meeting” using our webinar platform. And, yes, we will also be available by telephone during those “office hours”. Indeed, the page also includes links to a VOIP-based telephone system where anyone can call us free from anywhere in Canada.
  • Designated Twitter account tracking a topic. In cooperation with the International School Health Network, we have established a web page within the Mental Health CoP section of the web site that posts the very latest research on schools & mental health. If you would like to access the information more frequently than that, you can follow the ISHN Twitter Newsfeed on School Mental Health from your own Twitter account.
