. Websites are becoming the preferred way for teachers to keep everyone informed and the child constantly learning. Schools have realized the convenience of having a school website with separate teacher or class links. This is a credible reason for students and parents to have access to the Internet.
Getting and staying organized is a very good motivator for students and will help them excel in their day to day school activities. Websites will become a very good tool for daily use. They can easily access daily info from their teachers or school concerning what to study for and less stress related surprises from class activities.
Having all the necessary textbooks available on line, is definitely a plus for students and learning. No more packing heavy books, loosing books or having to wait for a book to become available. Another bonus is that all the on line books are constantly updated so all the information is as fresh as currently known. This is a great money saver for everyone.
Anything this useful and fun, it is said, has to come with a list of problems. On line safety is an area that schools are confronting. Every child is being taught boundaries to respect and warning signs to steer clear of. Knowing what to say or do is being safety smart, and will only enhance the learning experience.
Schools that have begun using the web also have implemented systems for informing parents of all that is going on.

With the number of homes that have at least one computer this is a good change. All that is needed is a computer and internet access and kids have a more complete education.
