I am very excited about enhancing the lines of communication between the teacher (me), my students, and their parents. Not only can parents and students get immediate, timely, up-to-date access to vital student information, they can participate in an immediate dialogue with the teachers (myself included). We no longer need to wait for conferences, and I no longer need to send out "backpack" announcements. I especially like the concept of using the service to enhance curricular areas, like developing lesson plans, or integrating Individual Learning Plans. This information system can help parents to become an integral part of their childrens' ongoing educational process.
