Parents
want to hear from the school about events, activities, assignments,
and their child's progress. Teachers can easily use Internet technologies
to keep them informed and get them involved.
Free
- Use
a free service such as Yahoo! Groups
or Topica
to create an email list. Becky recommends an "announce only"
email list so you don't need to worry about inappropriate content
going out through this mechanism. A variety of options are available
to customize this service to your needs. A primary advantage of using
a tool such as this is that the service manages members joining, quitting,
and bounced messages.
- Set
up a distribution list using your preferred email software. Be sure
to put the home addresses in the BCC field to avoid accidental replies
to the whole group and to preserve the privacy of the recipients'
email addresses. Managing the members and the bounced email addresses
will take a toll on your time. I recommend taking a few minutes to
register for one of the services listed above, rather than trying
to maintain your own distribution list.
