Web-based Family Communication Project
This Web page launches a project on school-parent communication
for graduate students in elementary education at Brooklyn College. It illustrates
how an elementary school teacher might use the Internet to communicate
with parents and/or students and provides basic resources for creating
a Web page using Microsoft Word. Links to free Web page servers are
also provided. Follow some of the links to see how beginning teachers
in New York City are exploring publishing on the Internet to enhance their
school-to-home communication.
