I update my classroom blog regularly. The goal is to have an open dialog with parents about what is happening in the classroom. Ideally, parents and teachers can exchange ideas to maximize learning experiences for their children. Parents can be involved in reflecting and projecting future possibilities. Updating the blog often turns into professional development as I re-examine why we are doing the things we do.
In previous years, I have used Tumblr. However, starting in 2017, I started using Classdojo for classroom communication. This application has been good for connecting with international families because it can translate many languages. There is also the added benefit of private communication with parents through the messenger.
