 Why Look at New Ways To Communicate? Lower email volume. One place to discuss topics, instead of the reply all game. Central document area.  No more find the right document game. Allows parents to go to information, not ask for... Larger 'tail' - allows for larger group of parents to be 'affected'. imho - it's important to show to our children.
 Communication Ideas for TESC
 Talked about last Month Google Apps Email, calendar, website, forms, internet conferencing. Ning Private facebook style application. TESC Wiki Information container for TESC and parents. Twitter Online 140-character real time updates. Facebook Group Use of a public group for all to join from Trillium ES.
Two Action Plans for TESC
Facebook Group - TESC Create a public group.
Facebook Group  TESC (Reasons) Easy, popular way to get MOST parents. Simple layout  events, wall, notes, photos, videos, links. Allows for communication to both students and staff on events and action plans. Allow for invitation to events  give a rough idea on how many parents may or may not come. Link to interesting articles (ie: email on GoO mandates sent out today) or fundraiser info. Allows for positive branding on facebook.com
Google Apps Use of online Google app to run TESC.
Google Apps  TESC (Reasons) Part of being a member would be receiving an email ( [email_address] ). Could utilize for internal and external conversations. Calendar  booking and planning of events, attendance, etc. Documents  shared agendas, sign up sheets, etc. Forms  online forms (hot lunch sign up, info, etc) Sites  online web presence (fundraisers, information, etc.) Expansion to web collaboration, conferencing, wikis, etc. available.
Why?  Dont We Have A Website??? The answer is no  the school does Action Trillium ES TESC Mandate Controlled by school board, (template utilized by all schools) Free to define and commit to an online mandate, to the betterment of the school. Control Controlled by mandate, by the school board. Would be under the direction of TESC and common sense. Collaborative No collaboration available. Easy access to comment and send information by external users. Scalability All additions must be checked with for entry, then added by school staff. Movement would be at TESC discretion, and can scale quickly and easily.
