Tool # 6: Using Web Tools to Promote Discussion in and out of the Classroom

1. Choose at least two of the tools from the above list. Create an account for each (if required) .
Twitter: HABrasher
Facebook: Helen Brasher
Skype: HelenAnnBrasher
Today's Meet: None Needed
Google Docs: Standard District Login / GMAIL account

2. Use each of the tools you choose to create a sample of how you would use it in your classroom.
Share your thoughts on how you see the tools being integrated into your classroom. How do you see them encouraging participation?

Today's Meet - After Parent Night parents could post questions they had from the meetingand then we could respond as a team.
We could meet as a team using this on days/weeks we are unable to meet face to face.

SKYPE - Use parents in the community to help contribute to classroom conversations and interests/TEKS.

    Think of using Twitter as a connection with parents...they would get it on the cell phone immediately!
    I created an account for the library...hoping this will be something the parents will follow.
