Both of these websites seem really great and appropriate for early childhood. I really enjoyed learning about Photo Story. It seems like a great project for students. I loved the fact that they can add voice narrations. I can see how they would really get into it and use it as a way to explore their creativity!!!

My Photo Album is a website that could be a wonderful resource for teachers. This website allows people to share photo and videos for free. Teachers could very easily use this as a way to form communication with the parents of their classroom. Parents can be invited to the album and look at pictures of their child's classroom. The teacher should post everyday, candid pictures, as well as pictures of activities. Teachers could also post videos of the children and their lessons. This technology is not really directed for child use at all. Children could look at pictures with their parents , but it is really more of a parent-teacher tool.

Google videos is a website that is a storage for endless videos to watch and upload. Teachers could use this site as a resource for enhancing their lessons with a media aid. Also, teachers could upload videos from his/her class. Parents, friends, and other educators could watch the videos to see what is going on in that classroom It could also serve as a way for teacher to gain inspiration and ideas for future lessons. Every video requires screening to make sure that it is developmentally appropriate for the classroom's age group.

Both of these websites are a great way for the classroom and the home to become more connected. They serve as tools to bridge the gap between teachers and parents. It allows the parents to have an opportunity to gain perspective of what goes on in their children's life when they are not with them.
