I think it is also wise for your readers to explore emerging communication services as a means of engaging with home and the school community. <br /><br />In particular, check out Signmee (signmee.com), a new networking service for managing home/school communications. Bit like a social network, but designed for work purposes.<br /><br />Rather than publishing to Google docs and pushing notifications out, Signmee enables schools to publish web-based forms (consent for participation, events, information collection, fundrasing and charges), distribute to connected Signmee account inboxes (parents), and monitor in real time who has opened, who has responded, and what the response was.<br /><br />Signmee takes the great things about social networking, and applies it to the business process of collecting and sharing forms. Signmee works much the same way as email, with the facility to build form fields into the body of the message (how email really should work).<br /><br />Check out the explainer too: http://meesys.wistia.com/medias/8enygfebzy<br />And the Signmee blog signmee.com/blogAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11987284803671976118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-76209952833511520162014-01-24T07:34:25.062-05:002014-01-24T07:34:25.062-05:00Great points!

I will share, retweet and then share & retweet again hoping schools will read it and follow through.<br />About updating Facebook and Twitter consistently: I would also add that districts should not simply "parrot" school announcements, but to use those powerful tools to elaborate on information, expand the scope of the information and engage in meaningful dialog with the community.mmshepherdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237523193618230577noreply@blogger.com
