"Parent Teacher Network is one of the most valuable tools available to any parent group. Communication is key to reaching the goals set by each parent group. With PTN all your information is accessible at any computer. No more stacks of papers, flipping through it to see which parent is signed up to do what event.

Parent Teacher Network is a great way for teachers to communicate with parents. They can create a group and have forums, discussions, mass emails, and announcements set up for that group. This gives the parents and the teacher a specific line of communication so that messages can get across.

This Website is actually the home of one of the other websites I found (posted earlier for Standard 6.1) with games and wanted to share it, because it has several other links and more information on teaching with technology as well as links to several games available on the internet.

ABC ya! is a great website to incorporate technology in your classroom. This website includes fun games and enrichment activities for Elementary schools Kindergarten through fifth grade. After a student has completed their assignment, they can log on to this site and do grade based activities that are fun and educational. All of these games are free to play.

I will be introducing this site to my own children, and will incorporate it into my classroom for my students as well. I highly recommend this site.

This website is an all around good website for teachers. it has a database of worksheets, templets, and even ideas for building lesson plans. The best thing about it is its free!

6.7 Candidates use tools such as databases and spreadsheets for sorting, compiling, and analyzing data gathered from a variety of sources.

I think we were stuck with the least appealing website of the day topic. Databases and spreadsheets? Seriously? I guess that is what I get for sitting in the back of the class. But I think the Engrade online gradebook that you found is way cooler than the one I found. Nice!

I agree with the least appealing, I wasn't exactly sure how to go about finding a site where you could do spreadsheets but this one is a good one, as I've seen a few teachers I know use it. I think it would be a useful tool for a good connection with parents.
