Communication, as we've been taught in our Collaboration class, is the backbone to any relationship. The more we can inform as well as listen, the more comprehension and connection we create. An essential element to being a successful collaborator is being flexible. If you're open to suggestions or ideas, no matter what the source you are likely to be a better educator.
After creating this newsletter and finding it really enjoyable I plan to use it connected to school website and teacher website. I will also place a "comment card" on the newsletter so as to allow for parents, et al to ask questions or make a statement. In addition to the newsletter I plan to maintain my blog which will have information of school/class activities.
I would like to use more interactive tools such as google videochat, podcasts, and social network sites specifically for pre-conference time with parents/guardians.
I used publisher after trying openoffice and not liking it. Publisher has many more applicable and usable features. It also offers how-to's. If I were to do this again I would research more on interactive aspects that can be added to the newsletter such as get-to-know student/teacher games.
