Parent to teacher communication

This is an app parents and teachers can download on their phones or use the computer website. This allows teachers to communicate with parents to share homework, pictures from class, and privately message parents. There can be a news page or class story for the whole group to see or the teacher and parent could privately talk on their through the messages.

Edublogs is a cooperating tool that allows educators to create blogs with parents and students. This technology tool allows teachers to spark creative conversations about current topics that are being covered in the classroom. Personally, I like this tool because it allows parents to be involved in their students education. It also allows them a chance to learn about the topic that is being covered. This allows parents to learn enough about a subject in order to help provide the student guidance from home.

ParentSquare allows effective communication between teachers and parents. Teachers can upload to a calendar, interact through polls, allow parents to RSVP, send out announcements, host fundraisers, and safely receive payments from families. Administration can view how many users they have, see how many users are engaging on the site, and analyze the reach of emails, text messages, and the app. This information can be used to better mold communications throughout the year to boost parent involvement.

Seesaw Link: https://web.seesaw.me/
Seesaw is an application used for communication between parents, teachers, and students.  Teachers can post assignments for students to complete on Seesaw. Parents are able to view these assignments and the results from the Seesaw application. Seesaw builds a digital portfolio of students and the work they have completed. Teachers can upload pictures of students working in the classroom for parents to see. Parents and teachers are able to communicate through the Seesaw application. This would be a great tool for virtual learning because it tracks student progress and allows the teacher to communicate with parents.
