IN SPRING 2025 THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME'S EDUCATION TEAM WORKED DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SOME KEY UPDATES TO THE ROCK HALL EDU EDUCATOR RESOURCE PORTAL. THE WEBSITE WE RELAUNCHED IN 2024, BUT LEARNED THAT WHILE IT HAD SOME INCREDIBLY RESOURCES, THE BACK END META DATA TAGGING BEING USED DID NOT ALIGN WITH HOW TEACHERS ARE SEARCHING FOR CONTENT AND MATERIALS IN THEIR CLASSROOM. WE USED A NEWLY FORGED RELATIONSHIP WITH OHIO'S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TEACHER OF THE YEAR PROGRAM TO COLLABORATE ON THIS METADATA OVERHAUL. WE INVITED THE 12 TEACHERS THAT WERE PART OF THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR COHORT TO DO A DEEP DIVE OF ROCK HALL EDU AND THEN HOSTED THEM AT THE ROCK HALL SO GAIN THEIR INSIGHT AND FEEDBACK ABOUT THE CONTENT ON THE SITE AND THE NEEDS OF TEACHERS. THIS LEAD THE ROCK HALL'S EDUCATION TEAM TO UPDATING METADATA AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR OVER 600 ASSETS ON THE WEBSITE. THIS HAS GREATLY IMPROVED THE SEARCH ABILITIES OF THE SITE, AND HAS BEEN SO IMPORTANT FOR MAKING SURE TEACHERS ARE EASILY ABLE TO FIND AND UTILIZE THE MATERIALS IN THEIR CLASSROOM. ADDITIONALLY THE PROCESS OF CREATING SPANISH TRANSLATION OF ALL THE MATERIALS BEGAN TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. OUR USERS INCLUDE TEACHERS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND LIFELONG LEARNERS.
