Communications Plan
Part 2: Blog
Good communicate between students and teachers is one major component to
success in education. When parents and teachers communicate together they help
students learn more efficiently. Todays technology has helped teachers communicate
more with parents. E-mails, texts, and online surveys has helped parents and teachers
communicate in more of a timely matter. Many teachers use online grades that students
and parents can access from anywhere. Parents and teachers want accurate,
understandable and useful ways to measure and report students progress (Kasprowicz,
T. 2002). Teachers have all sorts of digital tools to help them with setting up meetings,
conferences and even homework schedules. Technology has helped parents check on
their students work performance and gauge how well they are doing in school. Regular
communication is very important between teachers and students to make sure the
student is doing well in and out of school. And teachers can also report back to parents
if there are any behavior problems. Many parents want to hear from the teacher whether
it is about the students academic progress or behavioral issue. Parents want teachers
to reach out to them before grades are posted to address any issues that might be
corrected in a timely matter. There are recommendations for solving communication
problems between home and school that arise when homework is assigned to students
with mild disabilities in grades 512 in general education classes. With new technology
teachers and parents can communicate more efficiently to work toward a common goal
of education (Jayanthi, M., Sawyer, V., Nelson, J. S., Bursuck, W. D., & Epstein, M. H.
1995).
Technology not only helps quantity but quality of communication between
teachers and parents. There are many opportunities with technology for global
communities. One way to communicate in a global community is to use Skype. This is a
great learning tool for in or out of the classroom. Students can see and hear a person,
such as a pen pal in a different country. There are other ways students can be
connected to a global community. Students can start a blog and a pen pal can write
letters back and forth, or make it a group project with other students. Technology is part
of our future and it is only going to get better. There are many resources available to
teachers that can be found on-line. With new technology teachers will be able to
communicate with parents and students in the global community.
