How are these Tools helpful:)

How will these tools help me communicate with my students?
With every tool we learned about today there is a way for the students to view or even be apart of the "project" The calenders gives students a rundown of what may be happening or what is due each time they come to class. Google Doc can give students the opportunity to do an assignment and give accesses to the teacher to correct and look over before turning it in.

How will these tools help me communicate with my students' parents?
Like I said above the calendar will give parents the information they need to help students complete assignments on time and studying for upcoming tests, parent teacher conference and so forth.

How will these tools help me communicate with my colleagues?
Google Docs is a great way to make things and have other colleagues revise or change things that they would like to put in to a project, news letter or handouts. Also the calendar lets your colleagues know when you are teaching a class and when you are on your prep period. It also would help if someone missed a meeting they can go in and see what was discussed and decided.

In which ways might I employ these tools to achieve classroom objectives?
I can use these tools to make a fitness program letting all students to view it and to let them know where they should be if they want to be on track. Like i said above if your assignments and things students need to bring that day are on the calendar it will make meeting your objectives a lot easier.

What are the pros and cons of the tools?
Pros, are everything I said above about being able to communicate with students and parents. letting them know what is coming up and what they need to be ready for the following day. You can get colleges help on things you are planning.

Cons, There may be some days where you don't have time to post what the meeting was about or you are not sure what you plan to do the next class period so students will not know what to bring. It takes time and you need to make sure everything that can be seen by others is accurate. One typo can cause a lot of confusion and disorganization.
