As secondary educators, our list of responsibilities seems to grow exponentially every year. More paperwork, more tasks, more meetings...
Why do we view communication as such a daunting task? I believe it has a lot to do with the amount of time it can take. On several occasions, I've contacted a parent at the beginning of my conference period, only to have the BELL end the conversation! There went my entire conference period and I got none of the work completed that I really needed to. UGH! But what if there were quick and simple tools at our fingertips that made communication quick and simple? Well, guess what?!?! Those tools exist! Now you just have the difficult task of choosing which one is right for you. :)
I present you with Celly, Class Messenger, and Parent Contact Cards...
