I think as a teacher I owuld use a web site called edline. I used it in highschool and it is the same as blackboard. I believe that having one spot where parents and students can communicate with the teacher, see grades, assignments, homework, and be able to turn things in. Would be a great web tool.
I really enjoyed the fact that blackboard allowed me to talk to my teacher and turn things in online. With edline, parents would be able to access it on their own profile and be able to see everything that the week is scheduled for. This would allow parents to see their child's grades at any point so they know that they are not lying to them. It would also allow students to see the homework that is due the next day if they forgot to write it down in thier planner. I would also post links to help websites to give extra information on the subject we are learning. you can find the website by going to www.edline.com.
I believe I would use excel for grades and keeping track of a schedule. This past year I posted all my homework on excel and printed out my calendar for the semester. I really like all the programs that Microsoft office has to offer. As a teacher we can utilize powerpoint, word, and excel in so many different ways. Excel is also a great tool to keep track of budgets for the classroom and maybe a school club. I can't wait to learn more about Excel so I can be an expert at it.
