The question for today's blog is: How do teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society? This question was created from the National Education Technology Standard 3 (NETS) and reveals the importance of having 21st century skills as an educator. Currently, most school districts have some digital tools, simple to elaborate, that teachers may use to communicate with students, parents, and the community. In the Lebanon City School District, students, parents, and community member may collaborate and communicate with students, parents, and teachers through the district website. The website gives information about teachers, assignments, school calendar, educational resources, etc.
If you are an educator that is without a supplied media tool, you can still create your own. Google is a website where you can create a "free" account to use for a variety of digital sources. With an account on Google you may access a Google web page, Google reader, Google calendar, as well as Google word processing. Using this website can expand your ability to communicate with co-workers, parents, students, and community.

Rena-I didn't know there was so many "free" educational tools on Google. I don't know how they generate any income from it. Perhaps it is simply a way to attract browsers. I am going to keep a sharp eye out from now on. I will let you know if I come across some that may be useful to you.
ReplyDeleteRena,
ReplyDeleteYou are so resourceful. Creating a Google account is a great way to communicate with parents and students. I also didn't realize that Google offered some many "free" educational tools.
