during the day via email. They will also be able to view anything about the class (assignments, upcoming events, homework, etc.) from home, which is especially good if a child is sick. If the student does not have a computer at home, they can go to the local library or go over the house of a student who does have a computer. Overall, by allowing the students to access these technology tools, the line of students in front of my desk every day will be much smaller (hopefully!).How will these tools help me communicate with my students' parents? The parents of the students will be able to contact me via email with any questions they have. Also, they will have access to the class website, so they can view their children's' school work (if it's posted online), upcoming assignments/units/field trips, as well as keep posted on their child's grades.
How will these tools help me communicate with my colleagues? My colleagues and I will all have access to a calendar of meetings and grade activities. We will all be able to contact each other via email, and stay organized when it comes to meetings and news regarding the school.
In which ways might I employ these tools to achieve classroom objectives? I will be able to open the students' eyes when it comes to technology. The students will be able to feel 
more comfortable with using these tools, which will prepare them for the upcoming grades, which will require much more work using technology. The classroom objectives would be achieved by teaching the students to reach those goals by using technology.

The classroom objectives would be achieved by teaching the students to reach those goals by using technology.What are the pros and cons of the tools? Some of the pros of the tools are that it would allow me to communicate better with the students, parents, and faculty. The students would become more familiar with using the tools and they would be able to use them better in the future. Some of the cons would be that not every student and parent has access to a computer. These students may feel left out and embarrassed in class, and the parents may not have access to their child's assignments like other parents may have.
Video Reflection: I have mixed feelings about the fractions video. I think that by showing your students this video, it is not a very effective and appropriate way of teaching math. However, if you were to teach fractions to the class, and then teach the class the words to the rap, that would help the students a lot. They could memorize the words and, chances are, they would know that rap for a long time. You could even take it a step further and have the students make their own rap about math, or make their own rap video.
