For this week we had parent conferences. During these parent conferences, I have been trying out a couple new forms of communication.
1: Remind
This service was recommended by my BTSA program. It sends text message or email reminders to everyone who signs up. I plan on using this service to remind students and parents when there are upcoming exams or projects due. I have had a lot of parents sign up, so maybe this will help.
2: Snapchat and Instagram
I am going to post a picture of daily agendas to these. I am fairly familiar with both services, so it is not so much a problem of using it. I hope by seeing their homework in apps which they use frequently, the students will be more likely to finish it or other class work that they have not finished. I don't love how snapchat goes away after 10 seconds, but that might be all the reminder that they need to do their work.
