Weaving With Parents
Many parents today feel unsupported, misunderstood, and overwhelmed by the demands placed on them. To address these barriers, educators should appreciate that every positive interchange will serve to increase trust and build stronger relationships, not only with individual parents, but ultimately with the broader community as well. The local school needs to become a vibrant part of the community, and schools have the advantage ofbeing a natural point of interaction with parents. -Susan Graham-Clay (8)
One of the greatest benefits of using Web 2.0 in the classroom is that parents can get a glimpse of their student's work. They can feel like a part of the virtual classroom. Not only have the student projects been available via my Edline class website all year, I have also shared photos and audio from my classroom using Web 2.0 tools.
