- Posts typically pertain to the whole-class
Augmentation – The Digital Parent Communication Tool is able to show student work so that both school and home are aware of what is happening now in a child's classroom:
Augmentation – The Digital Parent Communication Tool is able to show student work so that both school and home are aware of what is happening now in a child's classroom:

Redefinition – The Digital Communication Tool allows for rich conversations, both at school and at home, about what students are learning, and where they are at in the process:
- Teachers post some work, but generally create posts that provide parents with talking points that relate directly to their child's learning
- Students self-reflect on posts, directly identifying what they are learning, where their gaps are, and what needs to happen moving forward
- Parents know exactly what their child has accomplished in the context of the outcomes, what is still missing or needs further work, and where to support their child in his/her learning journey
