Drop box is a wonderful tool to use. I have had an account with drop box for almost a year now. It is a very convenient place to upload information to access anywhere. I love being able to share files with my friends and co-workers. I use this tool a lot with my co-workers at my summer camp. We share files and pictures all the time. This is a tool I will use in my classroom.
The online-sign up was something I have never done before. It was fairly easy to create and it can go far with giving students an opportunity to use the computer and get their feet wet in the many things that can be preformed on the internet. It helps keep students up to date on all of the free tools you can use. The sign up would be a great thing to use for a classroom for parents and myself. Parents can go on with their students and sign up for projects or supplies to bring in. This will help with no duplication of activities or materials. This was also a good thing for field-trips. If all field trips are posted, parents can see which ones they can attend so hopeful all of the parents can attend at least one field trip.
The newsletter was very fun to write. It made me think of things I can do to inspire my students and information I should provide parents with. This is something I can do and parents can go online and read. This newsletter can also be printed out and shared with students in class and at home. My students and I would read over the newsletter so everyone is on the same page. This will open up an activity to post students work in the newsletter, or have the students come up with an article to post in the newsletter. Students work should shine and why not along side of their peers and family.
