Parent Teacher Communication and Technology

Email should only be used for general communication.

Use these to respond to questions about assignments and homework and general class information.

Websites are a great way to share information about lessons in the works, upcoming events, items from the past and such. In short, these make good classroom "newspapers."

Blogs should be used to convey information about the class and assignments, but not for issues related to specific students.

Don't use cell phones unless there is an emergency.

Podcasts are good tools for posting lectures and activities that students may want to frequently refer to as they work in a subject area.
