  Adobe Buzzword is a program that is new to me, but I had a lot of fun learning to use it. The site is used mainly to create and collaborate on PDF files. The tool is free, but you must set up an account with Adobe. This is easy to do and only takes a few minutes. Buzzword has many great features. You can assign roles to collaborators and control the amount of access each person has, which is a feature I really liked. It is easy to insert graphics, change the font color/style, adjust the background, etc. You can also keep track of changes made and make comments on the file.
  
  Although the tool is not meant for young children; this program could be used by teachers and parents in many ways. You could use it in a preschool to communicate with your coworkers or talk with parents, which builds classroom community. You can even create a checklist and other collaborators can check things off of a list. It would be great for collaborating on letters to be sent home to parents or updating families with photos and daily updates. The program could also be used to plan classroom/school events or meetings. These are just a few of the ways the program can be used.
  
  I was very impressed by Adobe Buzzword. It is easy to use, functional, creative, and fun. I would recommend this program to anyone working in a classroom setting who need to communicate with other teachers and/or parents.
