Classroom Communication

For classroom communication I plan to use blogger. At the beginning of the year I will send home a paper that explains my blog site and what it is for so that parents and students will be able to access it. I think that it is an effective tool because I will be able to post information about things such as field trips. If there is a field trip coming up I will post information about it and also I will talk about the field trip permission slip that parents need to sign. It is my responsibility to communicate this information to parents, therefore if students do not get the information passed out at school home to their parents they will still be able to access it. Also I will be able to post information about certain assignments that students need to complete. If a student is at home and they are having problems they will be able to get on my blog site and view information about it. Also the parents will be able to view the information so they can help their child. If there is an upcoming test, I will post information about it so that parents are aware and they can help their child with studying for the test. If parents have questions or concerns, they can reply to my blog posts and I will be able to respond back to them. This is efficient because if other parents have the same questions or concerns, they will be able to view it too. I won't have to respond to multiple parents because it can all be viewed by everyone.
