With the popularity of Facebook and the ability to connect to it from iPads to desktops, it only makes sense to use it for a classroom communication tool. I did a quick search for classrooms, and specifically special education classrooms on Facebook and found numerous pages from all over the world. By using a Facebook page for the class, parents can see what the days lessons were as well as homework and pictures of the day or week. Messages can also be sent to the entire group or individuals as well as other teachers in the department.
The URL that I posted gives 20 iPad apps that would great for teachers to use in the classroom but the website also gives a link to a program called eLearn.
