Conclusion• The summary and review/transfer knowledge of these

lessons can be accomplished during the review of the websites. In this review the teacher/instructor will review with the teachers/students/parents the categories and capabilities of gradebook/ student portal/parent portal and how these programs allow teachers, students, and parents to stay connected and experience better years between them. All learners should then be able to apply this knowledge and see how this information will be useful in the future. The instructor will also go over the test/surveys questions with the groups to check their understanding of the programs.
