If you want an example of how I am currently communicating with both parents and students (7th-9th grades), you can check out my class website at jpbunker.com. It might give you some even better ideas... using Google sites.

question are your students over the age of 13 ? and do you think it is approprate to set up a face book page for 7- 10 years old kids ?

@Cabbit22 This video was designed for students in 8th grade and above. I find most students are already on facebook, and their engagement improves by going into their world. I think if you were to set up a "group" for littler kids, it would be more focused on the parent communication aspect.

like this Idea making it a parent class group rather than a student group I can see the benefits more for the parent group to have a place to talk I can see school events like sports day were you ask for volunteers this group might help . Also I can see it helping send home work home and you can know that the parent has gotten any all class notes. I can see modifying it to suit thanks for the idea.
