 * Artifact:** Classroom Moodle Page

 * Rationale:** This web site is what i use as my classroom website, which is used not only to communicate announcements with parents and guardians, but also as means for parents and guardians to be aware of what we are doing in the classroom. Websites are labeled well and organized by subject, and there is also a section titled "Show What You Know," which are sites in which students can present learning. Mainly through these websites, students show their families what they've been working on in school.

**w** Homepage of Classroom Online Portfolio ||
 * Rationale:** This site is a wiki that my fourth graders use as a place to post their completed classroom work. Students post things such as exported iMovie videos and Comic Life images, Word documents, and Powerpoint Presentations. Parents are informed about the online portfolios and encouraged to go to the site to see what their children have completed in school.

 * **Rationale:** Once my students complete certain assessments, their results are entered into the Performance Plus website linked above. The website then organizes student data and displays their results in tables like the one shown above. Performance plus provides multiple indicators of student progress and uses technology to maintain records on student achievement. During conferences, this website is used to show parents and guardians student progress on both language arts assessments and mathematics open ended responses. ||
