I have found it to be very useful with my students during classtime and while in the computer lab. I am able to attach the URL's for websites that we use often or that I would like my students to explore. Although, several of my students do not have internet access at home our classroom webpage is always available. In the future, I hope more parents will access it for homework assignments, assessment dates, event dates (fieldtrips, assemblies...), and much more. Since my school district is located in a rural community and financial issues seem to be on the rise, currently I feel it is still necessary to send home newsletters and informational notes on paper to ensure that everyone is well informed. Do you feel that this is also necessary in your school district?Suzie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769012374189801304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387212681745027003.post-47477069196931426402010-07-25T16:46:42.479-04:002010-07-25T16:46:42.479-04:00Hi Erika and Chris-

My district has maintained that the teachers have a web presence in order to communicate with parents. Since I have some time to work with digital tools, I have created a wiki page that will support students and parents. My goal is to have older students (4-5th grades) create wikis when working on a project. I will have to work collaboratively with the general education teacher but it will be worth it!<br /><br />Chris you are lucky to have 3 labs. In my elementary building we have 1 lab where computer classes are held and about 8 computers in each pod for students to work with so this makes things difficult. We will be acquiring some new/used computers in the fall and I have suggested to administration that we create some additional labs.<br /><br />MicheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036163606664089784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387212681745027003.post-33477039125212278422010-07-25T00:45:18.572-04:002010-07-25T00:45:18.572-04:00Michele,

I would say only some schools will be able to fully incorporate the 21st century technologies. We have 3 computer labs at my school. Only 2 of them can be checkout by teachers. I enjoy viewing the videos of these classrooms and teachers that have laptops provided to them. This is not a reality in my school. The reality is that I will have to figure out ways to incorporate these skills into my lessons using the tools I have available. Just one more task the educational bureacracy will put on my shoulders.
