Effective communication is essential for the success of any organization, and schools are no exception. In fact, communication plays a critical role in ensuring that students receive the education they deserve. With the advent of real-time communication technology, schools can now connect classrooms with parents and guardians more effectively than ever before.
This article will elaborate on the importance of real-time communication in classrooms, the beneficial impact it has on students, parents, and teachers, and how Springring promotes real-time school communication.
1- IMPROVED PARENT TEACHER COMMUNICATION
One of the most significant benefits of real-time communication technology in classrooms is the improvement it brings to parent-teacher communication. According to a survey conducted by the National Education Association, 97% of parents believe that communication with their child's teacher is essential.
Real-time communication tools, such as Springring, provide parents with instant access to their child's academic progress, attendance, and assignments. With real-time updates, parents can stay informed and provide the necessary support for their child's education. In addition, teachers can communicate directly with parents about concerns, questions, or any other relevant information.
2- INCREASED STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Real-time communication technology in classrooms also increases student engagement. A study by the Center for Digital Education found that schools that use technology to communicate with parents and students have higher student engagement rates. When students are engaged, they are more likely to attend school regularly, participate in classroom activities, and perform better academically.
Springring provides a platform for teachers to share announcements, homework, and class updates that students can access in real-time, leading to increased engagement and motivation.
3- STREAMLINED CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Real-time communication technology also streamlines classroom management for teachers. According to a report by EdTech Magazine, teachers spend an average of 12 hours per week on administrative tasks. With real-time communication tools like Springring, teachers can save time on administrative tasks by sharing information in real-time with parents and students.
For example, teachers can send out reminders about assignments, upcoming tests, and other important information to parents and students, reducing the need for individual communication.
4- BETTER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Real-time communication technology can lead to improved academic performance for students. A study by the National Education Association found that students whose parents are involved in their education have higher academic performance.
With real-time communication tools like Springring, parents can be more involved in their child's education and provide the necessary support. Teachers can also use real-time communication to identify struggling students and provide the necessary interventions to improve their academic performance.
Real-time communication technology is transforming the way schools communicate with parents and students. With the benefits of improved parent-teacher communication, increased student engagement, streamlined classroom management, and better academic performance, it is clear that real-time communication tools are essential for schools. Springring provides a platform for real-time school communication that promotes effective and consistent parent-teacher communication throughout the year.
