Making Pages

• The Putnam Valley pages have been created using a combination of programs, including PageMill and SiteMill from Adobe, Claris HomePage, and BBEdit.
• Most of our graphics were created in house. The new Putnam Valley logo (the one with the smiley face) was drawn by Bradley Baumann, a sixth-grade student.

Servers

• The Putnam Valley home page, elementary school pages, and the Developing
  Educational Standards site are served by a Macintosh G3 MT, using Webstar.
• The Middle School is served by an iMac, also using WebStar.
• The WebCams are servbed by a G3 MT/MacOSX. The WebCams use SiteZap for camera control, Sorenson Broadcaster for compression and multicast broadcasting, and MacOSX for serving QuickTime 4 streaming video.
• We use AIMS (the Apple Internet Mail Server) for email.
• Both schools are on T-1 lines.
• In addition to the Putnam Valley sites, we serve pages for the Lakeland School District and the New York State Technology Education Association.

Use Statistics - We try to update the statistics on a regular basis, but keep in mind that we do this in our spare time. The statistics are kept for html files only and are broken out by week, month, and year as well as by internal versus external accessing of our sites.
