Parent-Community Partnership
- Branding
- Branding— How do you tell your school’s story
- “Your brand isn’t what you a=say you are- it’s what people say about you.”
- Private Instagram account for a class
- Laura Spencer had more success with Instagram than FB or Twitter
- Laura uses IFTT to spread it out.
- Edtech Baton Each day (Monday-Friday), another educator “holds” the Baton and shares their technology integration ideas in action by posting 6-8 photos with corresponding captions and tags on the EdTech Baton Instagram account throughout the day. Popular Instagram tags include #edtech, #1to1ipad, #teachersofinstagram, or #teachersfollowteachers.
- Community leaders as principal for a day
- Custodians and bus drivers get trained in district vision— Talking with blue collar workers & community.
- Businesses sponsor free wi-fi for kids
Infrastructure
Privacy
What conversations are we having about student privacy?
- Teacher and admin emails may be public
- Be careful about complaining about students
- Many websites ask for students data & teachers need to be careful about making student account
- New privacy laws— ensure vendors comply re student data
- Maybe work it in privacy conversation with sexual harassment and other mandatory education
EdConsent- Digital form and e-signature software for parental consent & approval.
Learning Spaces
