| Description |
Communication between teachers and parents is an important tool for the success of students in the classroom. When traditional modes of parent-teacher communication do not serve all the needs, teachers must consider other methods for sharing information. The purpose of this project was to explore alternative ways teachers can share information with families using mobile technologies as support. I propose that these technologies can be used to support parents and share information about children across all age ranges. This project developed an elevenquestion survey to be given to parents of kindergarten students to determine internet accessibility in the home and preferred methods of communication with the teacher. A communication tool was chosen to be used with the parents and teacher based on the results of the survey and communication needs of the classroom. A tutorial video for caregivers was made to show how to use the chosen communication website. The findings of this study show that the majority of parents have internet access in the home and are open to trying new ways to communicate with teachers through mobile applications. |
