Moodle
In our school each teacher can show at the Open House how tobe involved in their child's education and leave comments about projects and other works:
 * Q. //Would you like to be involved in your child's education?// A. Here's how to participate in future student activities.
 * Q. //Would you leave a comment about your child's project online?// A. Here's how you can do it from home, from the local library, or during open lab hours.

Students' work should be transparent. Allow them to publish their work in Moodle so that parents could see their children in action. Parents will help their kids if they know what will be learned at the class. Make a listing of what will be learned in Moodle.

Read/Write Web: blogs, discussion boards, etc.

Animania: Animation is great for storytelling, editing, and scripting skills.
