I had to rack my brain to come up with something related to technology that I liked or thought was helpful. The parlant call-home system is so useful for parents and teachers (K-12 Planet). I'm always reminded of upcoming events, when my daughters do well on a test, or if they've been up to no good by ditching. If I ever hear the word son or daughter and unexcused in the same sentence on my answering machine there's going to be some trouble! I'm not exactly sure how the system works, but I do see Gary and some of the other teachers accessing the system and leaving messages that will be sent home. We've come a long way with the attendance process and grading systems. Although there are enough kinks in the current SMS system to make 50 teachers in one building pull their hair out...

I agree on the parlant phone calls. We probably get one a night! It came in handy at the end of the semester for library books as well. I also get a bunch of emails from the school. I'm having a hard time adapting to the technology stuff only because that's all our students know. They would know what to do if the couldn't get on a computer, plug into their ipods and play video games.
Your blog is looking nice.....
I agree with you on getting parlant phone calls. It is a great reminder and helps me to not have to write down every detail from the school's newsletter.
My daughter thinks that you have the neatest blog!
