The use of Web 2.0 tools is very effctive for communicating with parents, students and stakeholders. My action plan to use such tools include the following.
Email: I plan to continue using email to communicate with teachers, other administations, parents etc. for daily messages as well as to respond to questions or comments that they may send to me.
Blogs: My action plan as it relates to blogging is to discuss how to improve math scores at each grade level with special attention being given to students who struggle with basic addition/subtraction facts and muliplication facts. I will share my page with parents to solicit their input and hopefully give them ideas on how to help their children learn basic math facts.
Podcast: I plan to use podcasting for weekly professional development meetings. The teachers meet once a week for professional development. Through these meetings, information is often times, left out or one group has more information than the previous. I plan to use podcast to detail these weekly meetings. By completing a podcast, this will ensure the same information is provided throughout the day.
I think your idea are really good. I like the wat you seperated the different tools and highlighted how you will continue to grow with them. Maybe you could give your students a multiplication timed assignment and give them a token if they post their time on your blog. Good exposure for them. You have a good Thanksgiving.
