2 Great Webtools - Photo Album & Message Forum



The first web tool that can be used in preschools is Photo Album, for example Bravenet Photo Center.




This particular web tool is especially useful in compiling the photos of everyday events or special occasions like field trips to the zoo, etc. Due to the fact that the tool is user friendly, preschoolers could navigate from one photo to another with ease after some teaching. The staff, preschoolers and parents could access the photos easily and refresh their memories of their experiences - a foundation for process skills is memory. As the photos can be compiled into separate albums, the photo album could also become a e-book. Teachers could use the help of a visualiser to tell stories - even making one up based on their photographed experiences.




Another web tool that is equally helpful is Forum and one host of it is Bravenet Message Forum.



Using this tool, parents and the staff could collaborate, exchange information, discuss and express ideas about all things from the child care programs to how best to help their child in a particular situation. As there is a certain amount of anonimity (parents and teachers could sign in with a nick name and not disclose their e-mail addresses if they choose to), both parties would be more open and be more honest about their opinions. The child care and teaching could greatly benefit as both the teachers and parents strive to improve caring, teaching and helping their children in all aspects.


Comparing The Two Webtools





In conclusion, both of the webtools are beneficial and helpful in a childhood education setting, in terms of children's learning and creating a community involving the children, teachers and parents.
