This is a great, simple little site from a Canadian school whose aim is twofold.
The first is to help keep parents informed about homework assignments, upcoming projects and tests. The second is to serve as a refresher and reinforcement for students regarding assignments and tests. The layout is simple and straightforward, great for parents and students.
This blog fits within the scope of This We Believe by empowering students to take responsibility for their assignments. They can access the blog for more information on an assignment as well as due dates. The biggest benefit I see in this blog is its ability to easily actively involve families in the education of their children. I have been told that some parents are intimidated by teachers. This site would allow families on their own time schedule and at their own pace to stay informed on the expectations placed upon their student. This is a fairly easy way to for the school to take the initiative in involving and educating families without having to man a desk twenty-four hours a day.

Gina, I thought this was a great way for teachers to interact with students! Students are so technology savvy these days that we almost NEED something like this in order to really "get through" to them. Fantastic post!

WOW! I wish that I had something like this when I was growing up! Such a great way to connect the parents in knowing what is going on in the classroom! I will defintely think about doing this when I have my own classroom!!

Great blog! This is a great way for kids to keep up to date on homework from home. Since parent involvement is so important in education this is a good way for parents to stay informed and play an active role in their child's education. Really enjoyed it! ~Wendy Marney
