If you have a classroom blog and your parents have subscribed to email updates, you can use this as a way to present information you wish families to know ahead of time.
Check out the beginning of the school year video presented on Adam Ronnenberg's blog. This is a great way for him to remind students about the expectations for Morning Movers as well as get them excited for the start of the school year.
As a blogger, keep in mind that embedded videos (videos placed directly within your blog post) do not show up in email updates. Parents must either click over to the actual blog post to view the video, or the blogger can include words which are linked to the video (or the post itself), for the parent to click. Just be sure there is some indication that your post contains a video (such as Adam's invitation to "take a couple minutes and check out the video I posted").
Students love watching videos of their favorite people from school, over and over! My kids have already watched Adam's video twice! Consider using this as a way to communicate with families this year.
