I love this site!!!! I think it would make my life a lot simpler and put responsibility on the parent and students to keep up with their grades and attendance. I am hoping I can get my school interested in this site.

Zoomerang is an online polling & surveying site. The basic, aka free, account allows you to create an unlimited number of surveys & polls, each having up to 12 questions, and 100 responses. Results can be viewed in real-time. This is ideal for surveying small population like a class or grade level in a school, or even as a virtual testing/quizzing tool!

I would use Tumblr in my classroom as a platform where my posts would be the primary source and students would be requested to add a post to my initial post after every class with any questions, comments or concerns they had about the lesson. This would be an integral part of the classroom which would be introduced on the first day of class and would be followed throughout the duration of the classroom. Responses to the posts would be factored in to the student's final grade.

I would use Office Live in my classroom by giving it to students as an option for completing their work collaboratively with other students from the comfort of their own home. I think that group work is key to helping students really grasp concepts and taking responsibility for portions of assignments so, while I would not use this as a platform for teaching or providing feedback, I would present this to my students who need a way to work together outside of school.

This is a great tool for adults looking for a safe way to let their children or students browse the web. This Internet browser (from the makers of Firefox) lets parents rest assured that their kids are safe online and lets teachers rest assured that their students are not being inundated with falsified or inappropriate information.
