As technology is becoming ever more present in society it is now increasingly important to integrate it into the classroom. Some of the ways I can use technology in my classroom are:
Contacting every child's parent in my class can be very time consuming. To help me save time I will use a mail merge where I can personally create and customize a form letter for various recipients. By simply entering in all of the student's information at the beginning of the year I can easily create letters to be sent home throughout the school year.
Mail Merge
Communication is an important part of bridging the parent/teacher gap. In my classroom, I plan to send home e-mail newsletters bi-weekly. These newsletters will inform parents about what is going on in the classroom. The newsletters will also include important dates, reminders, and up-coming events.
