Connecting Parents With Common Core Through Remind & Twitter is a useful post at Education Week.
Here’s how it begins:
How often does this conversation happen for parents? “How was school today, what did you do?” We all know the response – “nothing, not sure, can’t remember, don’t know” etc.
At John Swett Elementary (@jseroadrunners), we’ve torn down the classroom walls and are connecting parents with school life and Common Core implementation on a daily, even hourly basis! Remind and Twitter have profoundly changed our communication flow from what’s happening in the classroom to directly connecting with parents, via their phone.
I’m adding it to A Beginning List Of The Best Resources On Using Technology To Help Engage Parents.
