Emailing is a great tool bt at times can be long winded. I have also used a voice chat messenger that has helped with the response time.

I recently have made the transition in the classroom from traditional books to eBooks. I had some resistance even with my younger students. I emphasized the long term benefits as well as the short term however there were still a few that would still prefer the large heavy textbooks. So the question is any thoughts on your preference and or the transition to EBooks?

I love the idea of external social media. I too use facebook and also the discussion board platform in Engrade.com. I think giving students the ability to use the tools that they are familure with is a great asset.
