** Dear Parent(s): ** Welcome to our 21st Century 1 to 1 wireless classroom. The wireless lab is here!

A **wiki** and a **blog** have been created as tools of instruction and communication. You and your child can access each of these tools daily from our ECMA website or the web links below. On the **wiki,** a weekly calendar is posted. This calendar outlines the week’s daily assignments, homework, etc. Your child should have the same calendar in his/her notebook.

The **blog** provides students the opportunity to collaborate with their peers and me in a monitored, safe environment. It also provides information that is helpful to you, i. e., the grading policy, supplies, conditions of use, long/short term projects, and resources.

From time to time, your child will be **required to post comments on the blog. These postings will be graded. Please allow your child permission to create a google (gmail) account for this purpose.**

** Web addresses: ** ** Blog – **[|**www.707digitalnatives.blogspot.com**]


 * Wiki – **[|**www.707digitalnatives.wikispaces.com**]

Thank you for your cooperation and support. I hope you will find these 21st Century tools helpful and informative.

Sincerely,

Patrice H. Mills Patrice H. Mills ELA Teacher
