BACKGROUND on this
topic
There
is a growing choice of technologies that teachers use to communicate with
parents and school communities. The most obvious is the classroom or teacher
homepage, but there are other technologies, including Internet-based radio
and low-band FM radio.
SOME TECHNOLOGIES
Classroom and Teacher Homepages
Most schools and even individual teachers now have homepages, unlike in the early days when it was a rarity. The range of homepages for teachers is as vast as the range of the individual teachers themselves. While some schools have a set template for individual teacher's homepages and homepages for classrooms, many schools do not; even those that do have standards still provide for teachers' desire to have a unique page. Obviously, while the pages may be different, there are some commonalities for classroom and teacher homepages, which will be addressed in this topic.
Internet-Radio and Low-Band FM Radio
This topic includes a Power Point presentation about how schools, classrooms and teachers are using homepages to communiate.
There is a three-part series of articles on homework policies and posting homework on the net, originally produced for The Principal's Electronic Desk, http://nprc.educationworld.com, for the National Association of Elementary School Principals. You are encouraged to go to this weekly ezine from the NAESP for quick and easy updates on current issues related to schools, not just elementary schools. We have reproduced the three articles here for your reference. You will need to be online when you read it in order to go to the active links shown within each article.
