Some districts limit the information and formatting options available to teachers and not all districts provide ways for students to interact in their classroom experience via the internet.

]]> Teachers and Students Connect Online

An easy way for teachers, students, and parents to stay connected is through the teacher’s website. Teachers can post classroom information, homework assignments, school news; whatever the teacher wants parents and students to know. If a student is absent, that student can check the website and get their assignments and be prepared when they return to class. Most teacher websites also include a link to the teacher’s email address which makes communication easier.

]]> Create Computer Tutorials

Record What You See On Your Screen

Do you ever wish that you could clone your teaching self? Do you feel that if you had more time to tutor students, or provide that extra support, that they would be more successful? Do you some times feel that if you were a robot, or a video, that students would pay more attention or retain what you taught longer? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, maybe creating video tutorials that students can view on their own time is a viable solution.  Software that allows you to digitally ‘clone’ your lesson is available in the form of Producer. Producer is a free download from Microsoft. It is an add on for PowerPoint that allows you to record sound and video screen captures. You can use it to create a computerized tutorial on how to do different things on the computer. Students can view and listen to the tutorial and rewind or replay as often as needed. Students can create their own as well. 
You can find more information and the download link here.
