Family involvement is a pivotal element in determining students’ academic success. I’ve been in K-12 education for 22 years, serving in roles from teacher to superintendent, and my students have always had a greater chance of success when their parents are included in the educational process. However, parents are busy people, so connecting with them […]
From regular use of tablets and computers to artificial intelligence, today’s educators are no strangers to technology in the classroom. The increasing prevalence of educational technology, or EdTech, means teachers and students are more connected to advanced digital tools than ever before.

As a centerpiece of our modern lives, mobile devices have made communication easier than ever. Communicating with friends hundreds of miles away is as simple as sending a text or chatting via video apps like Snapchat and FaceTime.

While many of these technologies have gone by the wayside, several remain and have evolved and retained relevancy with students. While technologies […]
A recent study by Gallup found that only 1 in 5 parents are fully engaged with their child’s school, meaning that 80% of parents aren’t getting the information they need from their children’s teachers. This could be due to parents’ lack of interest, lack of time, or simply that they or their children’s teachers don’t […]
As an IT admin, you spent a good portion of your summer prepping your Google Apps domain with the latest student and teacher information, organizational units, workflows and more, so teachers and students can take the new school year by storm. Everyone’s up and running so far, so you’re all set, right? Not so fast. […]
Context and productivity aren’t the most commonly associated terms, but they really should be. The saying “context is everything” is not used nearly enough in relation to mobile applications.
