Powerpoint

I LOVE power point! I think that the best way to use power point with parents is to create presentations for Open Houses and Parent Events. You can include photographs and summaries about what the students have been doing in class.

Databases in Early Childhood

I really have not worked Access before. I have always done a variety of spreadsheets in excel. After using the tutorial I feel that I could with another tutorial, set up a database for student information in my classroom. Exploring on the internet some of the other ways to use Access in the EARLY CHILDHOOD classroom are detailed below:

Creating A Database for Parent Interaction - Parents have information on how to contact other Parents, the Teacher, and Important People in the school - as well as some basic information about the other students in their child's classroom.

Using a Database to keep a record of student progress throughout the year in social skills, behavioral skills, literacy, etc.

While as a teacher this tool will be very valuable, the students in an Early Childhood Classroom would not benefit from use of this program, or be able to successfully use the program.
