Personally, I love e-mail as a communication tool. I think it will be very helpful to allow my students to communicate with me this way. It is a quick way for them to get clarification on assignments or ask questions from material covered in class. E-mail is especially nice for those students who may be too shy to ask a teacher something directly in class. As mentioned earlier, it will also be a useful tool for me to send reminders, give feedback, or offer study suggestions. As long as e-mails initiated by the teacher are relevant to class and student e-mails are saved for records, I don't foresee any major problem using e-mail to communicate with students!

I do agree that it is easier to just email then to make a phone call, but there are downfalls that we have to remember with email. I send out a parent contact sheet at the beginning of my school year that allows the parents to choose which method of contact they prefer and most do ask for email but others still want a phone call.
