You can use this tool on your laptop or on your mobile device to communicate with parents! Your personal cell phone number will not be disclosed, and parents can message you back. I think that communication with parents is very important. It is the first step to help build a trusting relationship with parents. This tool will help you communicate with parents and let them know what their students are doing. It will help teachers and parents start a collaborative relationship with a shared interest, the student. ]]> 2017-10-17 03:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/reinaquintanilla8/r4v9z5n45mwe/wish/197632428 reinaquintanilla8 https://padlet.com/reinaquintanilla8/r4v9z5n45mwe/wish/197633192 https://www.edmodo.com/

This is a safe social network for educators and students. Teachers are able to post class material, assignments, and grades. This is a great tool for educators in any grade. Students can log into this site if they are ever absent and need to know what is being worked on in class. It also gives parents the opportunity to be more involved and aware about what is happening in their child's classroom.

This is a mind mapping tool that allows you to do visual connections. Students can use this to help them develop and organize their ideas when they are writing an academic paper. I am in a 3rd grade ELA class so I would probably use this when teaching vocabulary and relationships among words. ]]> 2017-10-17 03:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/reinaquintanilla8/r4v9z5n45mwe/wish/197633800
