Web 2.0 Tools

Parents of Third and Fourth Graders,

 One of my goals this year is to add Web 2.0 tools to technology instruction. You will be receiving a letter requesting  you to create a Google account for your child or give me permission to do so.  Web 2.0 tools will allow your child to access his/her work at home or at school.  Sharing of student work at home and school will be easily achieved.

Thank you so much for your participation in your child's technology education.

We are well on our way learning new and exciting things in the Computer Lab!
