Hi, Seyoung.
All teachers communicate by phone ! Are you planning to use some tech? Some software?

Hello,
There are quite a few web based curriculum resources that schools can use to start the school to home connection. Here in Oklahoma quite a few schools are using Destination Reading and Math ( Houghton Mifflin Harcourt product) delivered via…

I think both play a role. Difficult to show parents how technology plays an important role in daily life. Perhaps a meeting or a course for parents can be held to open their minds. As I mentioned before, time and effort necessary to ensure the…

Alok Jain replied to Betsy Irwin's discussion 'Difference between a wiki and a blog'
Betsy,
Blog is more like a journal/diary one keeps, it's something others can read and comment on, they do not edit the articles posted. You can set up blogs so it's open to everyone or is available to only a closed group.
A wiki on the…

Hamdan,
Is the barrier to adoption financial or more that family culture is not very tech oriented?
Alok Jain replied to Alok Jain's discussion 'What are school using to connect with parents'
Thanks, I did not know about twitter being used for sending assignment. It's great that latest tech is being adopted, I guess it also speaks to the simplicity.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your attention. Actually it's a school computer lab. I maintain two computer labs. Well, like many people said, do not judge a book by it's cover. each laboratory should has 20 computers. sad to say only one laboratory works.…

Hello Hamden I have just seen your wonderful video using online learning through skype. Your classroom looks really well equipped with computers etc. Your school looks really well resourced. Yet, your students dont have computers at home, which is…
Hamdan Bin Muhammed Idris replied to Alok Jain's discussion 'What are school using to connect with parents'
I agree that it will take time to make it happen. if seen in my condition, the school environment is located in the village. computer that has Internet at home again is not an interest to parents. However in recent years, students have actively…

If anyone here has a little curiosity about the answer to the question from Asia (especially from S. Korea), let me reply to the question. I'm a teacher in one of the common high school in Korea.
My school mainly uses a telephone to…
Meredith Johnson replied to Alok Jain's discussion 'What are school using to connect with parents'
I believe a different spin on this question might be, "what are schools doing to connect with families and communities?" The work of Joyce Epstein transformed the way I thought about communicating with others about children. I think our…

Daniel Bassill said… - Alok, I encourage you to visit the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator which is a map/database of volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago region. Seems like you're doing something similar to help people find child care services.
Our maps are just part of our service. The real goal is to help high quality volunteer based tutoring/mentoring programs be in all high poverty neighborhoods of the city/suburbs. To illustrate this goal we use a variety of visual information. If you skim through some of our blog articles you'll see this.
I think there are many ways that design students can help communicate ideas that help social services and education services be more available. I look forward to connecting with you.,
