PowerPoint can be an effective tool to present material in the classroom and encourage student learning. A effective PPT that students can follow and use at home is a great supportive tool that students can use to review with parents at home. PPT should have great visuals to look at and easy vocabulary to practice a home. Special needs students can be supported with great visuals and extra material from the teacher. Sharing PPT's builds great relationships with parents, parents always appreciate extra material to review at home.
ClassDojo allows teachers to award points to students for participating, helping others, exercising creativity, showing great insight, working hard, and making a good presentation. Behavior management software can help teachers manage their classrooms online..Parents and student can access it at home and check their child's progress in all areas.

Google calls its Classroom platform a “blended learning platform,” a place primarily designed for sharing and grading assignments. It’s not quite a full learning management system, though it includes some similar functions.
Google Classroom allows educators to send out updates about student work to parents, but it’s not as robust as other tools like Remind or Seesaw since it doesn’t include two-way messaging capabilities. However, individual parents and guardians can opt in and get email summaries.
In-person
Home visits
Start by taking a deep, cleansing breath and reminding yourself to leave behind whatever stresses or frustrations you had before the visit.
Acknowledge each member of the family. As you enter the home environment, make sure you greet each person you see.
Before you greet a family, take a moment to set your intention.
