Are there any schools nearby you that use such directories.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964487884529500871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-72002263772485156132012-06-19T16:20:58.479-04:002012-06-19T16:20:58.479-04:00Chip: Send me an email at http://ericsheninger.com...Chip: Send me an email at http://ericsheninger.com and I will get it to you.Eric Sheningerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733305358794643322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-68362705712647545692012-06-19T16:11:34.208-04:002012-06-19T16:11:34.208-04:00Is there any way you could attach your Twitter gui...Is there any way you could attach your Twitter guide that you send home to parents?

With so many activities going on parents need to be able to know..."today is the skate party at 4 to 6" <br /><br />My first obstacle was getting the parents and teachers and principals to see what was being created but as I educated them they are very excited about the possiblities. <br /><br />I ended up topping it all off with Pinterest.com This is a great place to centralize everything. I made boards for each grade in the hopes of next year the teachers will be able to pin their blogs to each grade so that parents can follow what is relevant to them. Also Pinterest is great because if the Principal is using the account they can add campus pictures, team spirit pictures with mascots, pictures with the principal... the ways to connect are now endless.<br /><br />Where you use to think...there is no way I can please this many parents and get to know them...you can know connect on a more human level...so they can get to know you and vice versa... check it out!

Also, I wonder how you find time for your own family if you have 10 different ways for everyone and anyone to get a hold of you. There needs to be some balance.Terri Marie Rehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715457132179183053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-51329335360491716562012-06-10T14:00:49.998-04:002012-06-10T14:00:49.998-04:00Valerie,

My intent is to use these tools to connect school, students, parents and community to find real projects for students to learn from and connect with their community. With so many things to do, where do I begin?
