There were many websites that I thought were very useful wesites but one that we all have is Facebook. Although Facebook is many times used as a social network between our friends. But it could also be used in a classroom. A teacher could make an individual profile for her classroom, so that, depending on the age of the students, the parents or teachers could become friends with that profile. The teacher could post up coming tests, homework, and updates for the classroom. This would be an easy way for teachers, students, and parents to keep in touch. And it's easy because almost everyone has a facebook now.

Skype was another tool that I think is cool. I have used it before to chat face to face with friends and such. But a teacher could use this to have a chat with a parent of one of his or her students. This would be easy for a  mother/father/guardian that does not have time to come to a parent/teacher conference. This would give a face to face conversation with them. But also, you do not have to do a face to face conversation. The teacher and parent/guardian could chat.
