I think this is an awesome tool. This allows parents and teachers to help the students constantly and not only at school. Many parents do not have the resources to help their children and I believe this would be a great tool to assist with that.
ReplyDeletei also agree that these sites benefit parents as well as the teachers. Describing the specific needs of an individual and then being led to the appropriate site seems extremely helpful. The school systems now using RTI (response to intervention)in order to optimize inclusion could also benefit from current sites.
ReplyDeleteI agree. This is a great tool that can be used in the classroom as well as other places. Parents can benifit from this site and learn tools to assist their children.
