Nicole I wish ALL parents would use the same platform. For example, if all classes
1
Harrison used ClassDojo, we would have consistence throughout the building.

2 Kara Kalra Khan Academy, Readworks.

3 Tara Jones Microsoft

Elizabeth
4 Class Dojo, Office 365
Cunningham

Love this Question!! I would love for parents to take the time to join whatever
5 Amy Soto application we choose to stay on top of the latest in our classrooms. (Edmodo,
Class Dojo, Office 365, etc.)

Stephanie
6 Digital resources, games, QR codes

I do wish parents would use the Reading A-Z more. Even though we have sent
7 Michele Willis
home information, they do not use it.

Cynthia
8 ? I don't know.
Edwards

I provide a Symbaloo page on my Weebly with at-home resources for parents

9 Kaley Lynn and students to use. I'm sure more resources for students
intervention/enrichment would be appreciated by many parents.

Christina
10 Learning apps, prodigy reports
Noblet

I think we need to pick one or two platforms to train parents and be consistent.
11 Maria Hunt This could be using teachers blogs or Dojo. Really just one or two tools. Too
many platforms might be overwhelming. The students can use multiple

platforms, but parents would probably be more comfortable with just one or
two things to use consistently.

Shawna Readtheory- explaining not the HELP your kids answer the questions as it will
12
Plunkert accelerate them too quickly.

Kellee Not sure if this even answers your question...but.... creating a Ford website that
13
Strickland is more user friendly with a variety of resources for parents to access.

14 Libby Mitchell I think they will be much better when our website is updated.

We give parents many digital resources but only a small percent actually use

them at home for practice.

Bonnie

I think it would be helpful if parents would allow for more opportunities for
20 Fran Mcmath their children to use a laptop rather than tablets. They really need experience
using other devices than tablets and phones.

21 Craig Hurley ?

Kimberly
22 Office 360 Class Dojo Synergy
Kunst

Marianne Most all of our parents know how to utilize the technology tools we use in the
23
Liberatore classroom. (SeeSaw, etc.)

I really wish we had FastMath that kids could use at home. Students
24 Michelle Vance consistently struggle with math facts throughout the grade levels. This is quick
way to keep up with kids growth and progress. The kids love it as well!
