Technology itself serves as an excellent conduit for facilitating school and community connections. Using e-mail, Web sites, and online resources that support classroom activities, parents and teachers can work together and with students to strengthen student achievement. Technology tools can , in fact, facilitate parental involvement considered to be a key aspect of successful student performance, beyond and between the occasional parent-teacher conference or PTA meeting. Community organizations and businesses, too, can use technology to communicate with schools and students and to provide real-life skills, technical support, and learning opportunities. Web-based technology can transform learners and parents from passive recipients of knowledge to active participants in the learning process.

Parents can view student assignments, work, and performance records to date as well as find resources for enhancing their child's classroom experience. Students can see at any time where they stand in terms of assignment completion and proficiency. All Rights Reserved. Disclaimer and copyright information.
