In this discussion, students are asked to compare different ways of communicating with parents, like sending emails, making mass phone calls, sending letters, having video conferences, and using social media. They need to list the good and bad points of each method. Also, they should share a specific way they personally use to communicate, focusing on the technology they use.

With the rise of advanced technologies, teachers now have a variety of ways to communicate with parents. This discussion board highlighted the diverse methods, like mail merging and social media, changing my view. I used to think it was just emails, calls, or meetings. Now, I see the tech options, and I’m keen to explore them for improved connections with parents.

I agree with your usage of phone blasts. I personally have only used them a few times but I did find them effective due to almost all my students asking me why their parents were called.
