Assignment: Back to School Night

I see the usage of Google docs and embedding them into blogs useful to communicate ideas, directions, and information to students as well as parents. For this particular assignment, having the "Back to School Presentation" online gives parents a way to access the presentation and refresh what they've heard during the meeting. The embedding of the presentation on the blog also cuts back the cost of printing paper and keeps all posts together, without losing any information. Keeping a blog with posts of slides in it is helpful to parents who want to see what is being taught in the classroom and for homework or extra resources they can go over with their child.

Embedding presentations also help students in reviewing what happened during class as well as any additional learning that was posted during out-of-school hours. The blogs help to reach out to all the students as well as other viewers. Comments can be made for feedback and communication among peers and teacher. These characteristics help to build a virtual classroom that will enhance students' learning and access to more resources, an addition to classroom learning.
