Week 3-Tools

I think it's important to know how to use tools on the internet such as google sites and gmail documents and the calender to better communicate with students, colleagues, etc. The more tools you know about the more options you'll have as a teacher to choose the best way to communicate with those you will be working with. Google documents is an effective way to work on projects with other teachers and collegues without having to officially meet together to get something done. Google sites is a great way to update parents and students on what is going on in the classroom and what is coming up in the future. I think parents who have access to the internet would like the easy way that it is set up to browse whats going on in the classroom. One of the cons to these tools would be those who do not have access to the internet. Some parents don't have or don't use the internet. Therefore, it would still be important to send letters home with the students to let parents know what is going on in the classroom.
