In my Masters class reading assignment, Will Richardson stated "as more people get more access to broadband connections and more powerful computers and even easier tools, this trend shows every sign of continuing to grow." I thought that statement fit into my classroom well because as time progresses, online communication is expanding. For example, I am practicing this approach using a computer program called Edline. It is a county program that most schools are following. I am able to post assignments daily, grades, favorite links/games, and etc. It is a great took to keep parents and students informed. Lastly, I know this technology program eliminates a lot of surprises at the end of the marking period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-24720962212219806802009-07-30T15:42:35.413-04:002009-07-30T15:42:35.413-04:00"...technology is more than a tool, but a pow..."...technology is more than a tool, but a powerful way to connect them to their students."
