Assign-A-Day is a free tool designed to enhance teacher and student communication through an online teacher-managed calendar. Teachers create a calendar for each of their classes and add assignments for the students to view. Students view their teachers' calendars in order to see assignments for classes they might have missed, or to get an overview of the class.

This is a really easy tool that Teachers can use to keep track of the homework they assigned. You can type in the different subjects that you teach. Click on the date and enter the assignments and their due date! Parents can access the Teacher's calendar by typing in the Teachers ID. This is a great way for parents to keep up-to-date with their child's assignments!

The directions are easy: Upload your files from your desktop, edit and view your docs from any computer or smart phone. This is a great resource for teachers and students as the students can work on an assignment from their computer at home and the teacher can access it and see how they are doing.

This site can be used to make a video out of your music and pictures. What a great way for students to take photographs of their work or assignments and make them into a video. \n\nFor example, in a science lab pictures could be taken of the lab and directions to make a video of how the lab should or should not work. \n\nAnother idea might be to take photographs of a two hour game every ten minutes or at pertinent times and then a video could be made of the event to show \n\n

It also allows teachers to put assignments online.

The professional development resources are also very helpful. Users can save information in their desk, library, and class. Initial registration was free.
