snap chat

Ways which technology could be adapted by teachers
Snapchat

Snapchat is a free application available on smartphones and tablets. It allows the user to send free pictures and short video clips which are deleted after the selected time. 

One way a teacher can integrate technology into education is by using snapchat. 
A teacher could create a snapchat account which the parents would be able to view. With consent, the teacher could take a large sample of photos per day. She could then add the pictures to a 'story'. The parents will able to view the story and print screen the photos of the children having fun throughout the day.

Captions can be added to each picture, this allows the teacher to add information about the activity the children are taking part in.

I believe, this will be a safe method of sending pictures as you can choose who you send them to. Importantly, only people that you choose can view the pictures. 
The parents will only be able to view the pictures for 24hrs and this means the pictures of the children will not be stored on a social media website, online. 

Examples of pictures could be; pictures of the children on school trips, school concerts if parents are unable to attend and pictures of children's work (with captions indicating clearly work produced by different pupils).

Although this might seem like a good idea, not all parents have a smart phone and as a result they wont be able to view the pictures. Another problem is that some parents, do not allow pictures of their child to be taken and published, this might be an increased problem if the parent cannot view the pictures.
