| dc.description.abstract | Parental involvement is recognized as a way to improve students’ educational achievement. One method to improve parental involvement is to develop strong communication between home and school. Using traditional methods is no longer effective at reaching the majority of parents due to their busy schedules and other barriers. Almost all parents have Internet access and most have smart phones that allow them to access information conveniently on their own schedule. With the increase use of social media to communicate, it is important that schools are using these communication tools to provide information to all stakeholders, while keeping the teacher’s workflow as simplified as possible. This project concentrates on using Facebook, Twitter, and email effectively and appropriately to keep parents connected to their child’s education. | en_US |
