ITEM: Family and Home Connections
In ITEM: Family and
Home Connections, teachers will build communication between home and school
using technology to meet a major goal of Everyday Mathematics.
ITEM will teach educators how to build an easy website to post classroom
activities and assignments, share information with parents, and display
family math activities. Educators will build websites using Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Publisher or free, online programs such as Filamentality
(www.filamentality.com). Participants
will also discuss and practice other means of communicating information
to parents. Web logging, a form of online journaling, or class newsletters
created in Microsoft Publisher will be explored.
