Communicate 3.1.2 News

Effective communication is paramount for a successful online course. Using awesome resources like Canva, Smore, and Tackk, teachers can develop simple, but aesthetically pleasing newsletters to share important information with parents and students,

Below is a sample of a Smore that I created to update parents and students about the American Literature End of Course Test. In addition to being able to embed mixed media, I especially love that Smore can easily be shared through Social Media. My students tweeted the link to this newsletter, and before we knew it, the number of total views was more than 4 times the number of students in my class. The news spread quickly!
