When reviewing the data collected from Blogger, regarding the source of traffic to the website, the numbers referring from Class Dojo seem really small, given that links are provided in many of our Class Story posts to our Blogger pages. We have decided to test the links by sending all of our parents a one-off message about the competition our Support Group are running at the moment. Parents will need to click on the link to enter the competition, taking them through to Blogger for details. What we will do is then check who viewed this post, and see how many are actually counted as having directed to Blogger. It's not totally scientific, but a competition with a great prize should have some interest, and we should see a significant increase in traffic directed to Blogger. If not, then we might need to consider that Blogger's system for recording traffic referral sites may not be reliable.
Survey: We both feel we need to survey our parents again, regarding their preferences in using Class Dojo, Blogger, our School app, (and for Sonja Weebly), to find out their preferred method of communication (ranked in order), how they are finding Class Story and Messaging, parent/whanau perception of engagement in school/class/child's learning, ideas, problems anything that they would like to see/recommend etc. Messaging: Shaun has used the general messaging more often than Sonja, and has found it an excellent way to get general information to parents quickly. This term, we'll both be providing quick, fast reminders and information for parents often. Shaun sent a short personalised text to each parent on a day last term, and found that to be an effective strategy to engage parents. This term we both plan to do this in Week 5 and Week 10, related to their child's learning/successes. When we collect our data at the end of term , we should see an increase in individualised active conversations between us and our parents/whanau.

We have had our Grassroots application accepted and requested a full day's release to set up this website and to analyse the data collected from the end of term 1.
The data from Term 1 will be added to our data page (accessible at the top of this page) along with other significant information. We've now had a term of using the Class Dojo features Class Story and Messaging to engage with our parents/whanau, and we've provided support to help most connect. We now both have all families connected bar 5. For the remaining parents, access to a device is primarily the reason for not connecting. We need to ensure we keep the contact up with these parents through non-digital means. |
