Using EdTech to Increase Parent and Teacher Comunication
Please share these innovative programs with your teachers:
Talking Points helps teachers text translated messages to families when the teacher does not speak their home language.
Class Dojo makes it easy for parents to stay informed on what goes on in the classroom. Teachers can upload pictures taken throughout the school day, share notes with students and parents, and make announcements to the class. Students can personalize their portfolio with work that they are particularly proud of.
Bloomz allows teachers to upload short announcements or pictures to share with parents. It also sends custom calendar reminders, helps schedule conferences, and allows teachers to request volunteers for class events.
Remind enables teachers to send text messages to any phone, along with scheduled reminders, and they can see which families have read the messages. Teachers can also send attachments like photos, PDFs, and voice clips.
Welcoming ALL Families
offers advice for schools and resources for learning about cultures.
