Parent Newsletter Project

I enjoyed our group's parent newsletter project, if only for the fact that I appreciated becoming aware of how much easier it could be to communicate with parents if I implemented an online method. LetterPop in particular is very easy to use, and even though it comes with formats that make it very easy and quick to make pretty generic newsletters, it also is flexible enough that you can make it your own. In the end, we chose LetterPop because it is so easy, quick and reliable, and it is easy to publish it for others to access. We had some trouble with the Scrapblog website, and turned to LetterPop instead. Since I will be teaching high school and will have five times as many students as my elementary counterparts, I really appreciate the value of accessible mass communications with my students and their parents. This type of project could very easily become integrated into my classroom to the extent that I could even have students working on it as part of their own projects or lessons.
