U Tech Tips » Blog Archive » Communicating from the classroom

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:24:04 -0000

As a technology person you don’t always get to decide where you are going to start with teachers. In fact, most of the time the teachers tell you where you are going to start.

Hence my focus on parent communication. Many teachers are looking at using blogs as a way to communicate with their parent communities.
