I've found that @seesaw really helps with the school-home communication. Gives the parents a starting conversation point #nvedchat

Agree w/ statement about HW. As a parent is causes stress in our home so I try to be mindful of that w/my own students. #NVedchat

Aublovestacos Sep 18 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3: Start including the use of apps such as SeeSaw in classrooms, or even send home interactive homework. #nvedchat
