T. Conover - Teacher Tools
The first toolkit I created is a list of sites and tools that look like they can make a teacher's job a bit simpler. From online calendars for listing assignments, to teaching students to graph, to creating templates for worksheets and letters - this toolkit can be just the beginning of an intro to using tech tools.
Assign-a-Day is an online calendar designed to enhance teacher and student communication. Teachers can create class calendars for students to view missed assignments and upcoming lessons.
