Our schools involves a lot of credit recovery and works closely with students in Poverty so much of our work computers are often used to administer individualized material. On average technology is used for teacher and student productivity. However I would like to see the technology used more to support student creativity as well.

This site is great to demonstrate to students what different proofs and graphs look like. I use this tool all the time to give a visual graph versus just talking about different equations. The students can actually see what we are talking about versus speaking in theory.

My district uses Google to share information with staff. I also use the Calendar feature often to keep myself organized.

I use PowerSchool on a professional and personal level. It is very helpful as a parent to keep up with my children and their progress. Google is becoming a very useful tool for me as a teacher. The next step is to get my students involved.

Many of the teachers in my building use Class Dojo for parent communication.  It is a great way to award points for student behavior and to allow parents to see up-to-date results.  You can communicate electronically with parents how their child is doing in class and provide details to any questions they may have.  I also use it to communicate important reminders and information to parents.  Sometimes there may be a last minute change in schedule or something else like that and Dojo would help get the word out quickly to families.  Parents as well are able to comment/respond to any posts. It's a great communication tool!

Due to the fact that I am not a classroom teacher, I use Google, primarily sharing my calendar with other professionals to set IEP dates and time. TieNet is our platform for writing IEP's and this is nice as we can talk to other professionals while planning the IEP's

Our district also uses Schoology. It has been extremely helpful to create teacher groups in schoology and upload lesson plans by topic. We are all very open to sharing and this allows any one member to make edits that everyone can instantly use. I'm sure many other LMSs have group options, so if you have a "sharing" group, please explore this option.

Our school uses the McGraw Hill Reading series with students.  This series has many on-line options.  From home, parents can access all of our stories for the week, see vocabulary with videos and pictures, access games to reinforce spelling and phonics, see weekly spelling words, review parent letters, and homework can be assigned to individual students who miss class.  It has reduced the amount of work students have had to bring home if they are absent and has also helped students review for tests and reinforce skills we are learning about in class.

We use PowerSchool for our grading. I like the reminders I'm given when a student hasn't completed an assignment.
Also, I keep some testing data and lesson plans on Google Drive through their Google Docs and Google Sheets. That way I can easily pull up that information when I need it at home.

Our small private school uses optionC.com to take attendance and lunch count as well as for our online gradebook. It integrates into our schools Catholic faith as well with online lessons and training. It is customizable for all grade levels.

I learned about wiki pages via Wikispaces and really liked it. Then the school "suggested" we create Weebly pages (also a form of wiki page). I created one, but students do not use it, and I'm fairly certain our parents would have no clue how to navigate it.

Our school uses Schoology as a whole, but I personally use Planbook for personal planning. Sharing the link and letting administrators, parents, and students see the weekly plan is easy. Also, Schoology allows for quick parent contact and the storage of useful links and tools for students.

# data[].attributes.body
Our teachers were required by the district to have a "website" for students/parents where notes, assignments, and various activities could be viewed and stored for reference.

We used to use Moodle and now use Schoology. It has a lot of the same features as Moodle, but gives students a daily list of their teachers notes on each course's calendar.  It's also much easier for students to navigate between courses.

I upload pdf's and videos for student reference.

# data[].attributes.body
In our class we use Moodle which allows us to provide all of our students with everything that we cover in class. If a student misses a day they are able to get the information that they missed and this keeps them from falling behind.

Our district purchased licenses for all elementary buildings to utilize Moby Max this year. I am still getting familiar with it, but I like that it allows you to set different levels for students and have each individual practicing skills they need to.

I know it may seem really basic, but I love Google Classroom. Teaching high schoolers where (almost) everyone has a smart phone, it's so easy to put out a survey, assignment, or anything that they can quickly fill out or upload.

Google Classroom is a great classroom LMS system. You can post all your curriculum online & set up ahead of time by using the schedule feature. Naming your assignments with a code letter to organize by content is helpful for locating projects later. I also use google docs to keep a timeline of my course content & I can copy/paste right into Google Classroom

In addition to the basic attendance and grading features, we use the Learning Management System through Skyward to share resources with students, host discussion boards, etc.

Middle School kids love that Padlet allows for completely anonymous posting. Plenty of swear words have posted on Padlet because the teacher couldn't track it back.

In my district, we use Mi-Star for our grades, attendance, and seating charts. It is nice to having everything all in one area. Our district e-mail is through google, so we also get all of our docs saved to the drive for future view. Remind is an app to communicate to parents. Rubicon Atlas is where we save lesson plans for future use and we can look at other teachers to get ideas also.

Edmodo at Edmodo.com is a facebook style app that allows students and parents to contribute.Teachers can give assignments, grade, and communicate with students and parents.

We use this LMS District Wide. This allows teachers students parents to view all assignments, grades and comments. It also alows me to update students with daily, weekly, monthly, or evevn hourly updates.

My district uses PowerSchool to keep parents informed about their child's progress in school.  Through the gradebook function, teachers, students, and parents keep track of assignments completed/not completed and the assessment of said assignments.  At third grade, Google is used to create weekly newsletters that are posted on teachers' websites for parent access.

# data[].attributes.body
I know Powerschool is a district wide option, but I love how convenient it makes things, grading, contact information, seating charts etc... I also generally use Google for just about anything because besides gmail, and docs, it is a great way to bring your classroom community together! Parents can access the information on your classroom as well! And we can't forget the all helpful Remind app where you can type the class homework and text it to the kids!

A database of lessons and resources aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This is a project of AFT. I was on the national work team with teachers from all over the US who vetted, reviewed and mapped resources to standards. By teachers, for teachers, and FREE! You do not need to be a member of AFT to sign up. They also have “curated” collections of resources around topics/themes.

(This is Linda Clinton from Eastpointe Schools. I have a padlet account from a number of years ago, and sign in with those credentials.)

Our district used google drive and other functions for teachers to upload, store, and share their lessons, and resources. Google classroom and Edmodo classroom are used to have students and parents to participate in class, finding out the materials, assignments, and projects.

This website allows our students, parents, and colleagues the ability to view teachers' lesson plans. This resource allows everyone to be updated on what is currently happening in the classroom.

This is an online assessment program that is perfect for lower elementary grades. It is very customizable and user friendly. It was a perfect way to organize collect and organize data for my K students when I was a classroom teacher. It is also very reasonably priced.

Our district used this website for our planbooks. It is great because parents and students can view them and get missing assignments. You can upload files as well and create hyperlinks.
