Information about classroom projects, activities and events may be shared with parents through an on-line classroom web site. Established and maintained by the teacher, the web site provides a convenient arena for communicating with parents. The teacher can update parents on the activities of the class and may even choose to include digital photos from the classroom. (Please note: Signed authorization for the release and use of student images must first be obtained from a parent/legal guardian.)
Teachers may use the web site as a means to remind parents of upcoming events. Students might create a class book which can be scanned and shared on the web site. A calendar of events might be included.
There are many things that can be shared by a teacher on a classroom web site. It is an effective method of communication with busy parents and can be easily and quickly maintained by a very busy teacher.

I believe that letting the teachers develop this website will be a great aspect to the parents. These days both parents are working full-time jobs; in this case, they might not be able to always set up a parent teacher conference with them. By having this website the parents will be allowed to see what their child is doing in class. When the children have projects that they need to work on, the parents will be able to help them in the beginning; instead, of waiting till the last minute.
