  2. Since I am a preschool teacher, most tips do not apply, but I have to agree with the shutterfly class page. We have a school page and we add tons of photos there for parents. I have been going through them to add to student portfolios and it is a good pick me up for me to see all the fun stuff we have done this school year in my classroom.

  3. I love the tip about using Google Voice and Google Translate! I have just started using Google Classroom this year, and teach a lot ELL students. This is extremely beneficial for them, as well as my students who are struggling readers (Google Voice). Thanks so much for sharing!

    1. Hi Lyndsey! Google Voice is a calling/texting system that I use (together with Translate) to communicate with families. For struggling readers, I'd recommend Read&Write for Google Chrome!
