The Web 2.0 tool that I would like to share is SchoolNotes.com. SchoolNotes.com is a tool that keeps parents, teachers, and students on the same page and right track. SchoolNotes.com is a free site that allows teachers to post what their classes will be working on, as well as, homework for the week. Once a teacher has registered, they have the capability to email parents to let them know that they are registered with SchoolNotes. To find a teacher, the parent only needs the teacher's name and the school's zip code. The teachers of the school are listed alphabetically. They simply click on their child's teacher and the page comes up. Teachers can attach worksheets, post due dates to the calendar, and create flash cards. It is very simple for students to use SchoolNotes as well. SchoolNotes.com also allows teachers to view what other teachers are doing. Another wonderful feature of SchoolNotes is that it notifies anyone subscribed to your page, via email, when the page is updated. No more wondering what was for homework or when a project is due. SchoolNotes.com is a great linking tool to keep parents informed as to what is being taught in the classroom, as well as, what assignments and/or projects are due and when they are due. There is also the email option if there are questions about anything posted on the page. Teachers receive an email titled, "You received a message from a SchoolNotes.com visitor". SchoolNotes.com is a great way to keep in contact with parents. I wish it had been available when I was a student.
