  1. (Multimedia) Edmodo https://www.edmodo.com/ its a fantastic website for teacher-student, and teacher-parent. This website is so much like Facebook, and almost all students have a Facebook today! The only part that students do not realize, is when they are using Edmodo they are learning, and being able to communicate with fellow students in their classroom, but in a safe way, so the teacher can keep track on what they say! Parents also have access to Edmodo with a separate code, so they can only view their child's page!
  
  2. (App) I really like Dash4Teachers http://dash4teachers.com/ its an app teachers and parents can get to be able to communicate on how well the student is behaving in the class! It is also great because it reminds you of all your students, so you do not forget about the shy kid in the back!
  
  3. (App) KikuText https://kikutext.com/ fantastic way for parents and teachers to communicate through texting, without ever having to give each other their number! It is also a very easy to use, and not having to be on the phone with every parent talking for 10 mins, especially when your class consists of 20 students or more!
  
  4. (Multimedia) I love Skypehttp://www.skype.com/en/ and it is a website I would use all the time! Its more of an collaboration/communication website, but you can do so much with it! From going on fields trips around the world virtually, to being able to Skype a guest speaker to talk to your class! Its easy on the budget, but students are still getting their education in a fun and creative way!
  
  5. (Website) My teaching group found a website called TeacherWeb http://teacherweb.com/ and if any of you have not heard about it, I encourage you to go check it out! I know keeping up with a website gets tiring, but TeacherWeb you can post homework assignments, to any announcements from do not forget about field trip, etc... Its so easy, and you can create the website to look like so many things, from a history theme, to a locker theme, etc... just depending on what field of study you teach!
  
  I hope I have introduced you to something new that you would consider to use!
