Summary: Nowadays, there are a variety of online tools to teachers. Many online tools for teachers provide the option to both crate and keep a grade book. Teachers are able to communicate with students such as upload assignments, keep track of their attendance or grade. Some tools are let teachers share grades with parents. Moreover, since the syllabus and assignments are online, students’ will have access to the class resources no matter where they are. The article provides top 5 teaching tools, Blackboard, Classroom2.0, Engrade, MyGradeBook and TeacherTube.
Blackboad can upload grades, monitor student performance, and administer tests.
Classroom 2.0is a social network for teachers. Educators can chat, send messages, and exchange ideas o how to best educate students.
Engrade provides students with a place to monitor grades and see how they've performed on quizzes.
MyGradeBook is an impressive utility. Once the teacher buys a license (prices range from $30.95 to $39.95 per license per year) he or she will find one of the most powerful teaching utilities on the Web.
TeacherTubeis a video site for educators. Teachers can upload instruction videos, which can be viewed by anyone anywhere in the world.

Some of sites are great tools for teachers and students. It provides more chance to communicate between them even though they are not in class together. However, I get scared.... Some of sites let parents easily to access and see how their children is doing at class which means children are no more allowed any excuses to their parents!!
