Now that I have created my own blog and used it throughout the class this semester I found how easy it would be to communicate information to a large group of people. I think that having a classroom blog where I could communicate the material that we learned for the day and tips for parents to help their students study the material would not only help me be a successful teacher but help in getting the parents linked to our classroom. It would be an easy way for me to announce upcoming events and even the needs for the classroom. The sky is the limit with blogs and I fell it is a great way to open the door to communication.
Yep...you are on a roll! Blogs are perfect for regular parent/student communication! Whether you complete a blog or use other sources like Canvas, Edmodo, etc. the reality is that there are a variety of electronic resouces out there that can work to improve and increase regular parent/student communication which can work to improve/increase student/parent engagement and even create more info for students/parents to know about which can then be a springboard for conversations between students/parents/teachers.
