Technology Self-Assesment: School 2.0

 NETs 3 - Model Digital-Age Work and Learning - communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats

A assessment of our knowledge of NETs in the classroom and resources to improve. 

One of the links I was given as a resource was google groups. Through this tool as a teacher I would be able regularly collaborate with students, peers, or parents. This could be useful regardless of the age of your students. With older students you would be able to give them access to the google group. With younger students parents could have access to the google group and all of the classroom information. You are able to create multiple google groups and invite students and set up a group that would allow for communication not only with the teacher but also among students. Students and peers would be able to communicate effectively with one another outside of the class room setting. Using this resource with parents would allow for parents to stay connected to their children’s school and class room by using the cloud. The use of the Internet would allow busy parents to have access from anywhere to their child’s educational life. By incorporating Google groups in the class room educators are able to effectively bring more communication to the class room setting.
