Survey
A survey was created
using Google Forms to
allow parents increased
feedback and a
foundation for the
direction of my project.

Engrade
Some parents struggled to understand the purpose or connection for
creating a code name. For the most part, they were effective and were to
be used for the student name in Engrade, to make grades more readily
available to parents.

Calendar
On a monthly basis, parents
can use this calendar for
district, school, and classroom
events.

Website usage increased
There have only been 3 days since beginning this project that I did not have
any visitors to my website. This graph shows unique visitors, not just page
views.

Solution:
 Technology should be used to aid communication between
parents and teachers.
 It can be used effectively and offers many tools to aid this
process.
 Be cautious! Do not overwhelm parents with too many tools
 Encourage your grade level to also use these technology tools
to improve consistency between teachers.
 Does technology solve it all? Definitely not, but it offers access
to your classroom at any time!
