This document discusses how schools can effectively communicate with parents, teachers, and students using technology. At the school level, technology allows communication about schedules, events, and reports. At the classroom level, teachers can share information about projects, homework, and field trips. At the student level, students and parents can access marks, progress, attendance, and behavior updates. The document encourages brainstorming the most effective communication methods within school communities and collecting input through an online wiki.
