Teachers do need to use the guidelines for the students privacy. I think that communicating to students and parents is very important to keep them up to date on assignments and other news.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree. You need to keep the parents and students up to date. I also think that blogs would be a good way to help keep parents up to date on what is going on in your classroom. It is a new an exciting way to do a newsletter.
