Technology has become an amazing resource for schools to use.
Batesville High School, for example, allows parents to check their students grades online. The kids may not like it, but the parents appreciate knowing what their kids are up to academically.
Also, students have certain Facebook pages that teachers create for their students. These allow kids to post questions to a wall, and get an answer back hopefully within a day or two.
Another resource is a class wiki. Teachers can have their own wiki's for the students to check assignments on or possibly to download documents off the Internet.
My personal favorite "tech tools" are blogs. Blogs to me are the best way to communicate thoughts. On school blogs you can write about anything related to education. This provides a fun way for students to interact online for those parents who don't like Facebook and Myspace.
Topics on thoughts such as books, vacations, and politics will arise. The possibilities are endless. Plus, you can always post comments to other people's blogs to which you have subscribed.
As a student, I love it. I consider it fun and intertaining.
