Class discussions- Well facilitated forums allow for more reflective and considered responses than may be achievable in face-to-face conditions.
Teacher/ Parent Interaction- Great way for the teacher to communicate information between school and home. Sign up lists, important information about class trips, parties, etc.
Posting Class Assignments- Posting to a blog will give students access to their work, homework while away from school. This would be a great way to make sure children can’t “forget” about what is due.
Journal entry assignments- Saves paper and are a faster, easier, and in my opinion more fun way to write and reflect on a specific topic. I always HATED having to write papers in class on notebook paper or in a journal to turn in.
Class Surveys- Again, quick and easy way to gather information.
Teacher interaction with team teachers- Wonderful place to post ideas and concerns for the teachers to communicate and quickly jot down. Too many times I forget what I need to ask, or say, if we used a blog is would be easy way to login and have it permanently there for other team teachers to respond.
Fundraising blogs for PTO- Posting fundraisers on the internet would be a quick and easy way for people in the community to access and give money to help the school out, or to buy items that are being sold.
*More geared towards my kindergartners:
Typing -Getting children acquainted with keyboards at a young age will help them become familiar with their layout and function, quickly making them proficient typists.
Responsibility/Commitment - Daily Posts Regular updates require children to be disciplined and responsible.
Technology - Exposure to Internet Technologies Children are growing into technology-laden world. Exposure to innovative Internet technology will help them with communication skills
