Digital Leadership-Communication (Part II)

One highlight of Ch. 5 (in the book Digital Leadership) that needs further mentioning is the rethinking of our communication with parents. We're all busy, so are they! Sheninger gave an example of how a Principal held a "virtual" parent meeting. Fourteen parents came in person, forty signed in virtually. How many parents do we have  without cars, babysitters, etc.?  This is the epitome of meeting parents where they are!  My counselor and I have already discussed how to implement this into our "Coffee with the Counselor" meetings as well as other learning opportunities being offer for parents/families throughout the year. This idea for using technology as a resource has me much more excited than intimidated!  Our district has the resources, our parents have the desire but lack the time -- why not create a win-win situation?
