I found this particular twitter page very resourceful to early childhood education teachers. Ms. Graboski, the owner of this page, likes to share teaching ideas on this page and post pictures of her students learning through fun games and activities. This is great place where parents can tune in and see what their children are working on in class.

The link is to a Pinterest page that has many creative ideas on how to keep open communication and collaboration between teachers and parents.

Mr. Marcinek's blog is ranked in the top 10 educational blogs of 2013. Mr. Marcinek is focused on explaining and stressing the importance of technology integration into classrooms while making sure that his readers understand the balance between technology and face-to-face learning. Edutopie.org is a great tool for teachers to use so that they can remind students and parents of upcoming events, and successfully communicate and answer questions outside of school.

This is a website within classjump.com (collaboration tool) that one school created so teachers, faculty, students, and parents can collaborate and keep open lines of communication. From this site, you can view any teachers lesson plan for any particular class, as well as, get updated on upcoming events. Within this one site, there are many subpages that are easily organized so that any teacher, student, or parent can access the information they need. Assignments, payments, events, and many other things have been collaborated on this one website to make communication at any level much easier.

This page is a great example of a mastery level online classroom. Mrs. Marka uses this classroom webpage to post assignments, study guides, upcoming events, pictures of past events, quizzes, and links to other useful pages. She even created a login where a student can login into his/her personal account to view graded assignments. You can also send an email straight to Mrs. Marka if you have questions on an assignment, grade, or upcoming event.

This looks really cool and would be great for incorporating lots of photos into a production or as a stand-alone.
