Increasing Teacher-Parent Communication in Your Class
Overview
Invite Guardians to Google Classroom
Remind
Since today's society is more about the device in the palm of their hands instead of the computer on a desk, you can use a service like Remind to send quick updates or reminders of upcoming events. You are given a unique phone number and a class code. The parent/guardian texts that number and inputs the code, and then they are able to receive the updates. This is a very simple way to increase communication in an effective method.
Class Messenger
Start a Classroom Twitter
If you're wanting an easy way to showcase class happenings, send a general message, or even send simple reminders, starting a class Twitter would be the best. That means you could display whatever information you'd like and then parents would retrieve it at their leisure. In addition, creating a Twitter hashtag would allow students to Tweet about their learning and even parents/guardians could send a brief shoutout to their student using the hashtag. Even if a student or parent doesn't have Twitter, they would still be able to do a Google search to access all that has been posted in that hashtag.
