Welcome back!  And happy Friday-eve!  We've got a pretty short Roundup for you today and we'll start over at Getting Smart with Alison Anderson's new post, "Back to School: Ten Tech Tips for Team Building with Parents."  In the article they cover ten excellent and easy ways to use technology to connect with parents.  Host a website, write a blog, create podcast newsletters, send texts, and so on.  Plus they've got links to great resources to help get your ideas off the ground!

Finally, Beth Holland at Edutopia has an excellent new post entitled, "Didn't Your Mother Tell You Not to Google."  In the article, Holland discusses the educational problems that can arise from "googling" or "siri-ing" everything we have questions about.  There are tons of educational resources that are better at finding age and subject-appropriate information and Holland discusses quite a few in her write-up.
