您是在校园或地区向其他人传达给其他人的首选人吗？让我们考虑一下，如果您担任以下任何角色，您可能会负责：地区技术总监或协调员，人力资源总监，校长，助理校长，校长或课堂老师。是的，这是正确的。几乎每个人都有责任确保与父母和社区进行积极的沟通。在此博客条目中，我们将探索一些服务和通信应用程序，使其易于获取词。
“我们的地区应用程序附属于我们的网站。管理员办公室是更新网站和应用程序的人，我会在需要的情况下通过应用程序发布警报。我们有一个地区的Twitter和Facebook与社区进行正式沟通。”
应用1 - 父母的移动应用程序
寻找父母和学生可以在智能手机上加载的移动应用程序以保持最新状态？几个学区依靠一家大公司来创建他们的应用程序。这些学校应用程序提供了大量信息，包括学校新闻（可能是您组织博客或内容管理系统的RSS提要）和重要的通知（例如飓风警报）。学校沟通应用程序使父母可以轻松获得成绩，自助餐厅菜单和校园活动时间表。让我们快速看一下两个知名的应用程序提供商。
黑板就是这样的学校应用程序提供商。对于那些依靠黑板提供服务的人，可能会以额外费用从黑板上获得移动学校应用程序。从他们的网站：
一个美丽的移动应用程序可以帮助您的社区以及为每个父母个性化的最新新闻，时间表和学校信息。Blackboard Mobile Communications应用程序正式为ParentLink，与您需要的所有学校工具（从网站，社交媒体和大众通知）集成在一起，以获得更简化的通信体验。
班路是具有成本效益的替代方案。从他们的网站：
Unlike open forums like texting, Facebook or Twitter, SchoolWay gives your school the best way yet to inform and alert your school community with the content of your choice. From everyday information to important alerts, SchoolWay has you covered, safely and securely. Schools control the content, parents choose the content they wish to receive. From classwork updates to sports scheduling, lunch menus, scores and event updates, SchoolWay delivers…Your teachers, coaches, clubs and administrators can manage their own content independently. Then, parents and students can choose the content they want to receive. The app is also customized with the colors and logos of the schools in your district.
班路is available at no charge if the district has a Jostens’ yearbook contract. If not, an individual school can expect to pay approximately $500. School districts may pay $1500 (these are ballpark figures).
“对于父母/学生，我们一直在使用Twitter，提醒101和Facebook。对于教师/管理员的交流，我们一直在使用GroupMe。”
Other school mobile apps that provide parent access includeSchool Messenger，，，，CampusSuite， 一个nd科莫（以前Conduit Mobile featured in Judson ISD’s initial effort）。
Responsive Web Design Lowers Cost of School App Adoption
A low-cost alternative to purchase of a school mobile app involves using responsive web design. It is an approach defined in this way:
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design which makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. (Source:Wikipedia）
这不是一个应用程序，而是一个对移动设备友好的网站。Twitter Lite例如，不是一个应用程序。它旨在提供缺乏应用程序商店的移动设备上的Twitter访问权限，处于较低的带宽情况，并且需要快速加载内容。上学手机上的“ Lite”可以节省您的钱。
In terms of what’s easy to use to create a lite site, take a look at the “新的Google网站。”您可以嵌入RSS feed，以获取来自博客或内容管理系统（又称Blackboard，Edlio等网站工具）的更新。
App #2 – Remind
Remind.com适合教室，校园和团体沟通，提供了一个简单的解决方案。在70％的美国学校中，提醒已成为学校通讯的代名词。教师and principals rely on Remind because it makes sharing information easy and safe. Although teachers can start out with a free account,学校计划可用。考虑到安全，提醒赢得了iKeepSafe COPPA Safe Harbor Seal。
我感谢简短的提醒文本有关教授的课程，以便我可以在上学时开始有关特定时刻的对话。他们帮助将与我的孩子在家里的对话从“嗯，我的日子”变成了他们分享细节的信息，有时甚至是兴奋 - 大约他们学到的东西。- 格温·佩斯卡托尔（Gwen Pescatore），三岁的妈妈和PTO总裁，宾夕法尼亚州
Remind is remarkably easy to set up for communications. In fact, every day, I receive an update via Remind keeping me up to date.
应用＃3 - 班级Dojo
Another favorite for the classroom, Class Dojo has gained a following. Designed primarily for elementary students, it facilitates monitoring of student behavior throughout the school day and week. More importantly, parents can see how their child is behaving through the app as well. Many educators and parents love Class Dojo. It is a great tool to help students monitor their behavior throughout the day/week. Make sure to get approval for use of this tool from your school district first, however.
应用程序＃4 - 其他通信应用程序
There are a variety of apps available to facilitate communications among team members. These include free walkie-talkie apps likeVoxerandZelloandgroup messaging apps likeGroupMeandTelegram。Each has its own strengths. For example, if you need to be able to rely on passworded groups with text and audio options, Voxer, Zello, and Telegram will meet your needs. Zello’s benefit is that it doesn’t require users to share their mobile phone number with others. All apps listed work via the web, as well as on your mobile device of choice.
Having used all of these, my current favorite isZello， 一个最喜欢的许多othersas well. If it worked for them, it should work for you.
创建您的统一通信计划
尽管Twitter主题标签可以统一校园，而今天的学区Facebook页面是今天的要求，但这三个应用程序可以在学术环境中促进沟通。无论您是使用工业实力移动应用程序还是依靠提醒的协调文本消息应用程序，父母的通信从未如此简单。制定一个社交媒体计划，该计划依靠简单的工具来获取最需要它的人的信息。
