Communication with Parents and Children

          Communication is such an important element in quality education.  Ideally, education is a product of teamwork between the teacher, the student, and the family.  Such teamwork necessitates a lot of communication.   Technology helps greatly in fostering an atmosphere of easy communication.   It is only a tool, but if used carefully, it can function as an immensely powerful one.  Below are a few artifacts that have helped me with communication with both parents and students.  The names and numbers have been changed to protect the innocent.

      In addition, there have been families who I worked with on a daily basis giving continuous feedback concerning the summits and valleys of each daily experience.   Email can be a wonderful  tool in such communication.
