School Web 2.0 saves teachers time so they can focus what really counts - working with students and helping them learn.  Today's teachers work very hard to fulfill their numerous responsibilities, day in and day out.  Creating lesson plans that are standards-based and differentiated to meet a wide variety of student interests and ability levels can seem overwhelming at times.  Monitoring student growth, assessing student performance, and maintaining close and ongoing communication with parents leaves very little time to cope with technology concerns.

School Web 2.0 will help busy educators manage these responsibilities by providing an easy-to-access online presence that promotes clear communication among all educational stakeholders.  

Save time

Utilizing School Web 2.0 makes it easy for teachers to post handouts, assignments, and announcements online and easily accessible to all, thus saving valuable time.  HTML coding skills are not needed to update and maintain the district site and teacher web pages.  Simply by clicking on red links throughout the classroom website, an educator can make quick and easy edits, approve changes, and post them immediately.

Motivate students

Today's students spend many hours networking with friends and collaborating online.  Our message board and online chat features keep classroom discussions going long after students have gone home at the end of the school day.  Students can add to the discussion and share their thoughts with both their teachers and with fellow students.  Teachers can also post links to other helpful materials and resources to add depth and richness to classroom instruction. 

Foster Ongoing Parent Communication

With School Web 2.0, there's no need to compose and send individual e-mails to parents with the daily classwork and homework assignments and upcoming projects and tests.  Just one post will provide all of the classroom information needed - information that is available and accessible at any time.
