Meet the teacher/open house ideas

     The following are ideas that can be used for Open Houses or Meet the Teacher Nights. 
                                                       
Communicate with Parents Digitally

·        Think about using the site Remind to notify parents via text or email for classroom updates.

·        Create a classroom Facebook page or Twitter feed for your class.

·        Create engaging newsletters using sites like Smore or Canva.

·        Add QR Codes to your newsletters with links to class website, blog, or videos used in class.

Classroom Management

·        Several sites/tools are out there to help with management. Class Dojo, Class Craft, Class Badges and The Great Behavior Game are sites that allow you to “gamify” your classroom.

*Please remember that if you use one of these sites to NEVER include both first and last names of your students. That would be in violation of Internet Privacy Laws. 
( Ex. Use John S., not John Smith..)

Meet the Teacher Presentations:

·         Check out the Presentations with Pizazz page for other options besides Powerpoint.

·         Incorporate QR Codes into your Contact Info cards for Parents.

·         Create a Voki or ChatterPix of yourself to kick off your presentation.

Again, just ideas! If you decide to try some of them please share and let me know!

Thanks,
Nadine :)
