Free, as in budget friendly
What this school is doing is wonderful- so much ideal technology available and integrated (though who placed the IWB so high?)
Blackboard is a useful tool but one that my school doesn't have the opportunity to fund.
Are there free, online grading tools that teachers can use and parents can access?
Impact on learning?
I would be interested to know if there been any evidence to demonstrate the impact of this type of parental engagement on student learning at Forest Lake.
