The effects and limits of teacher-parents communication by mobile device: the view of teachers

This study discuss the effects of teacher-parents communication by Mobile Device and its limitations after the project done by thirty-three elementary schools on the m-homebook in Kaohsiung City. This study interviewed 10 teachers of elementary school from different district. We find that mobile device is helpful for communication but it is not the main way. The digital discrepancy, consumers' choice, electronics preference, work loading and convenience all affect teachers' attitude on adopting m-communication model. While promoting Mobile Device communication system and satisfying users' requests, research finds it is necessary to simplify the communicating processes.
