Online Calendars
Online calendars (remember the previous unit!) are an easy, useful method of posting information accessible by all and connecting the home, school and larger community. For example, teachers can post homework and important dates. Daily organisers can be tools of the past. When a parent asks "Do you have any homework?” they already have the answer. This tool has the potential to have a really positive impact on a school's culture.

Class and School Web Pages
A classroom website can be a very effective communication tool. It can enhance communication among the classroom and students, parents and the community. Classroom websites can be showcases for students' work, newsletters and other classroom information. They can contain homework assignments as well as any ongoing or upcoming projects. Parents and students can log on and see students’ work and assignments. The community can access the information to find out what is going on in the classroom, school and community. A school website is a set of web pages grouped together to meet the information needs of staff, students and/or the community. Good school websites have a clear purpose, organised themes with good information, and appealing graphical elements that hold the site together. Ultimately, a school website is a communication tool that represents the vision, image and culture of a school.

Teachers should be able to use ICT to communicate and collaborate with students, peers, parents and the larger community in order to nurture student learning (KD.4.e).
