Use collaborative tools with whānau

Use collaborative tools with whānau

Use technologies and approaches to support collaboration between school and home.

  • Leave computers on at the end of the day and invite parents to view learners’ work.
  • Find out the types of technology that parents use and offer to share work using that technology.
  • Consider using multiple channels to connect with parents and whānau, such as email, instant messaging services, school social media channels, and the school website.
  • Show parents how they can engage with learners’ work – both face-to-face and through technology.
  • Create and promote online spaces that invite parent participation and feedback, for example, Blogger.
  • Establish a portal for parents to access and contribute to, such as your student management system or an app like Seesaw or Class Dojo.
  • Design e-portfolios to outline future steps in learning.
