This year for a daily shared writing experience I am taking 5 minutes at the end of every day and having the kids tell me what we did and posting it to my wiki. The parents can check it and when their child says we didn't do anything today they know what we did. It doesn't take much effort and I have gotten some positive feedback on it already.
Another thing I wanted to share is safe share. Safe share is great, you take a youtube video and plug it into safe share and it take out the adds. So you can show an educational video without a youtube add for something inappropriate for children popping up.
