    Recently I had a parent approach me looking for a great mathematics website for her high school son. So I was wondering if you had a favorite website for any subject? I personally love our Lake Park County portal that is available to all teachers and parents of Independence High School. The website is www.maders.org - This website is a virtual portal to countless other websites that you would normally have to pay for but is paid for though our school and county.

  • Should social networking sites be used as a learning tool?

    Should sites like Facebook and twitter be used as a learning tool in the classroom? Sites like twitter will allow students to track thought leaders in their current field of studies. Facebook can be used for students to collaborate after standard classroom hours. This question was brought up just last week. Parents, please give us your insight into this groundbreaking discussion.
