Promoting Online Communication

You've probably heard the buzz about Instant Messenger, blogs, chatrooms, and discussion boards. The world of online communication has exploded and cheap tools and easy web publishing options have created an environment that awaits innovative educators.

However, teachers and their students are notorious for developing innovative ways to work technologies to fit a particular need. Before you get involved, you’ll have a number of elements and concerns to address and be sure to keep your school administrator informed of your ideas.
