We have gone over many great programs and sites so far in this class that I can see myself trying to use in the near future. This site blogger for instance, I would like to set up one for next year where I can add a post and the students and their parents can log on and see what their child has been doing in my class. I can also use a blog to stay in contact with sports teams that I may be coaching to update practice times and to let them know of any other changes. I like that the families could then respond and questions can be asked.
I would like to be able to use Facebook but as of right now I am not sure how I would do that. It would be nice to be able to write on a student's wall comments about how they are doing and I could post pictures from school but I also would have to find a way to be able to block the students from seeing all my other friends even if they have locked profiles.
Twitter could be another site that could be used to stay updated on what is happening with a class. I like that it can have short updates and someone can be easily followed. With that flickr is a great photo sharing site and it would be great to start getting more pictures of the activities we are doing in class and post them for students and parents to see.
I am going to try and implement as much technology as I can to help engage the kids and keep their parents involved. This class has given me some great tools to do that and I look forward to using them next school year.
