Are You Part of the 33 Million?

On Mondays I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider.

As we get closer to our first formal reporting period in Manitoba it is also an important time to reflect on the communication strategy you are utilizing at a school or classroom level. Schools are working to share their plans for parent-teacher conferences and important upcoming dates such as:

  • report card deliveries
  • meeting times
  • winter concerts

While traditional strategies such as school newsletters, student agendas, and email groups continue to be utilized. New additions such as social media can also play a role when it comes to reaching a higher number of stakeholders:

As opposed to more traditional communication methods such as phone calls or television announcements that rely on stakeholders being available at a particular time, tools such as social media are popular with stakeholders because they can be accessed and interacted with at any time; gone are the days of playing “telephone tag” (Hines, Edmonson, & Moore, 2008, p. 283).
