Technology and Parent Communication

Class Website

Makes class information and updates readily available to parents. Helps students express their creative side and learn valuable skills in designing web pages and keeping them updated.

A webpage created by the teacher and the students.

Email

Cons: Emailing can become constant and all-consuming, causing parents to become too involved and sometimes too pushy. Not all parents have access to an email account.

Pros: Helps teachers communicate with parents quickly and directly so that issues/problems can be taken care of quickly. Also useful in helping parents keep track of their child's progress in their academic subjects.

Electronic mail that is sent over communications networks.

Online Calendar Tool

Another way of keeping parents informed of due dates for assignments, upcoming events, basically what is due when on a weekly or monthly basis.

Newsletter

A newsletter can be published weekly or monthly, online or on paper, keeping parents informed of upcoming events, important assignments, due dates for things, expectations for assignments and projects. A newsletter can also be a great place to display the students' work and what they have been learning.

Blog

Cons: Sometimes writing blogs can bring the parents too close, blurring the lines between professional and personal

Pros: Blogs can capture the parents' interest. Writing a blog can help the parents feel closer to the teacher, more like they really know the teacher.

A place where people can voice their opinions, talk about things that really matter to them, introduce themselves.
