Teach Parents Tech

I chose to send the link to the www.teachparentstech.org/ page to two of my friends. One of them, Katie, has a one year old son and has been a Language Arts teacher for five years in various middle schools throughout the United States. The other friend I chose is Amber. She has two young daughters, one of which is in the second grade.

In two weeks I plan on touching base with them to see what they thought of the page and if it helped them in any way. Don't forget to come back and see what they thought!

Teach Parents Tech UPDATE! 6/20/2011
Getting back in touch with the two people I chose to send the teachparentstech.org link to has proven to be a challenge. Neither of the two people I chose to send the link to wanted to check it out, so I got my sister involved who also happens to be a teacher. She told me that as a teacher she was intrigued by this resource because 1)she didn't know it existed and 2) it was a fun way to help educate parents and students on technology use. In her opinion, the site was a little too basic and she thought that it may be more beneficial if the site addressed more perplexing questions in the usage of technology. Maybe addressing what blogs are, how to be more technologically advanced, and other unique ways to keep in touch with what parents children are learning in the classroom other than the typical newsletter.
