Parent Student Connect (PSC), an online service launched by HISD in September 2009, allows registered users (i.e., parents and students) to log in to access a variety of student information, see class assignments and school calendars, and even communicate electronically with teachers. Users can also choose to have an e-mail or text message sent if a child's grades drop below a selected average or is absent or tardy to class.
Class blogs are an excellent way for parents to find out what is happening in class and what their child is learning. While students love seeing their work on the Internet and adore getting comments from people. Comments motivates students to write as it gives them an audience that is real. The blog opens up a whole new world of people who can offer encouragement and feedback.
The most important tip is make sure you go to your class blog URL and then copy/paste your blog URL from the address bar of your web browser into any information you share with students and parents!
It’s really easy to type your blog URL wrongly — copying/pasting your blog URL ensures you get the URL correct every time!
