Today I created our class social networking site. It will be the go-to place for information and will connect to this blog, as well (as soon as I figure out how). We used grou.ps last year and it really helped our learning. Groups were able to collaborate, and at the same time I was able to keep track of each student's individual contributions to group projects.
I will form a parent's group where I can post information specifically for you! You can also use it to communicate with one another.
This is a closed community. You have no worries about Internet predators here as I have to approve membership and keep a careful watch on what is uploaded and in chats.
I know I've missed a lot of folks; please send me contact information for those I am missing so I can invite them to the grou.ps site.
The site is http://grou.ps/interamerican5thgrade. However, you can't see it without an invitation from me. Chao!
