    I am planning to use my blog as a communication tool to keep parents informed of things going on in our classroom. Hopefully the students will enjoy posting our learning. Also, I had a teacher request a "pen pal" situation on my blog. I guess that would more aptly be named a "blog pal", huh?

    I plan to use Ning as a way for parents, students, and I to connect. I'll use Google Docs as a way for students to collaborate on a few projects next year also. I've already created a wiki for the beginning teachers at our school as a tool for collaborating and introducing that kind of technology to them.

    I plan to set up a blog for my classes and use as a way to communicate with parents. I teach K-1 reading and do not have the same students all day. It was wonderful to find a way to convert and save educational vidoes from You Tube to use in class as well. I am interested in learning even more about all the tools discussed. I hope to incorporate them as I expore and feel more comfortable with each one. Thanks for all the great information!

    Peggy Bruyere's First Grade is planning on following Alysia Baysdens class! We also are using it as a tool to keep parents informed.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. A big kudos for trying new things and being willing to embrace some of these new technologies. If you ever need any advice or want a longer workshop, please let me know. I will make sure those who posted get the CEUs. Best of luck!
