Instead of writing for themselves, their peers, and their teacher, and then having their work posted in the class or in the school, students can now reach a wider world audience. Authors who read student book reports of their own books can now comment directly with their audience. Parents and separated parents, grandparents, and relatives who live a distance away, can now stay in touch with the school and see the work of their next generation. Students can see history come alive. A time line of your school, photos of past events, achievements, celebrations can now be made available.
Students can interview, photograph, research, and write about their school.
With the cost of memory decreasing daily, there is virtually no limit to what can be stored on the Web site. New staff and students can now quickly learn about the school and become a part of its community. Let others find and connect with you. Other educators read your request for electronic pen pals and offer to match up their students with yours. Students begin to write to other students in places they never knew existed.
