Tool 6

Hmmm.....this is getting a little easier now. This tool took about 45 minutes.

The two tools I tried out were Google Docs and Skype.

In Google Docs, I created a "Form" survey to link to parents, so I can learn more about their child. Also, I shared the form with my teammates so that they may edit it and we can have one, universal form for the grade level.

Skype is a program I've used before. I would love to Skype with another class in a different part of our country. One of my teammates suggested using Skype to discuss weather patterns with another class. I think this would be a great way for our Kindergartners to make real-life connections to their learning. Also, I might like to try having my students Skype with their book buddy in 5th grade. They could "read" to their book buddy, and the 5th grader can share an appreciation with them.
