I decided to use the website Edmodo with my students so they could interact and contribute to assignments, polls, quizzes and regular notes. This is a wonderful and easy to use website that allows the kids to see what their friends are saying about the topics, etc. that are presented by the teacher.
I used it to have the kids compare and comment on the two books we just finished reading in class...The Doll People and The Meanest Doll in the World. We will be doing more with it in the near future because my little ones absolutely looooved it! They feel like their big kids on Facebook as it is formatted much the same way.
The thing to know about this website is that you can create the accounts for your kids (no personal information or email address is necessary) and immediately add them to a group (people have to be added to the group by you). You can have control over passwords and screen names. I set up a profile for each kid and gave them all my last name which they thought was hilarious! It took only minutes to make 13 generic pages.
