This is an online tool designed for teachers. It allows teachers to quickly make and customize notes that are used often to send home to parents or give to students. The tool allows the user to customize the letter by changing some of the contact, changing color, and adding graphics. Some of the notes that are available include; filed trip note, well done certificate, progress report, student contract, medication and parent-teacher conference. Each note is available in both English and Spanish.
When you first get to the site, there is a list of the notes that are available. You choose the one you want by clicking clicking the bubble next to it. Then, you click on the next button and are walked through a few steps of customizing the letter. Very easy and user-friendly. The last and final step is simply printing out your customized letter. To choose the letters available in Spanish, there is a link in the top right corner that says, "version espanol" which you can click to bring up the same letters but in Spanish. To check it out, click the graphic at the top of this blog.
I think this tool would be extremely helpful for teachers for many reasons. First off, it is very easy and user-friendly. We know that as a teacher, time is a valuable asset. This tool would give teachers time they usually spend creating such letters, for something else. It would allow teachers who have students in their classroom whose parents speak Spanish, a way to send home communication to the parents, in their own language. Each note is numbered and is the same number for both the English and Spanish version. And last but not least, it's 100% free.
