I learned that texting should be for messages that are short and straight to the point I.E. reminders. Expressing texting professional is important will start asking my students what way works for them
This course has taught me the importance of utilizing different forms of communication and inquiring from my students' what ways they prefer to communicate.
Hi everyone,
I learned the importance of selecting tech tools that align with communication goals. I'll focus on clear guidelines, varied methods (such as email and meetings), and evaluating the effectiveness of the evaluation tool. I plan to use social media professionally and teach my students to do the same.
What tools have you found most helpful?
Several communication tools are acceptable for online learning, as long as they convey the message clearly and effectively. Formative evaluations of these tools should be completed throughout the course and revised, modified, or replaced as deemed necessary based on the feedback.
There are a variety of technology tools that can be utilized for synchronous and asynchronous learning in online classes. It's important to research the validity and appropriate use of these tools, based on what the course is meant to convey to the students. Many factors need to be taken into account, including the needs to the students. It's important to get constant feedback from students and evaluate each tool's effectiveness. It's ok to switch up these communication methods as needed to best reach the needs of the students so that course content is effectively conveyed.
I need to use more varied tools- there are ones I'm comfortable with and I learned some new things to try out.
Communication is an important part of any endeavor. A good communication tool is essential for a class.
I get that social media is inherent for students of this era, but I don't agree with using it for interactions between and instructor and a student
I learned that social media is another form of communication between instructors and their students. I also learned that instructors should have ongoing communication with students about the various sources.
I've learned that we need investigate before deciding on what communication tool to use in a course. See what works best for the students/ CS worker/ employer. Digital communication with students ensures accessibility and convenience, allowing for flexible interaction
In my culinary classroom, choosing the right communication tools is important to ensure clear and effective interaction with my students. For example, email offers convenience for sharing recipes or updates, but it can become overwhelming if not managed properly. Tools like video conferencing or virtual classrooms can be great for live demonstrations or discussions, but technical issues like lag time may interfere with the learning experience, especially when discussing detailed cooking techniques.
I learned that instructors are now utilizing social media platforms as tools to help with teaching and engaging students. I think that's pretty cool since most students are familiar with the different social media platforms and are probably well versed on how things work. I would imagine these options keep the learning process interesting.
I have learned that social media platforms can be used as a teaching communication tool to help students engage in their own learning with instructors and peers. I can utilize this type of communication with my students if they are unable to attend class due to weather or illness.
Coordinate with fellow instructors to find the best technology they use to aid their instruction.
It is important to frequently ask students what the best form of communication is for them and ask what time of day is best for them to check email or text messages and respond. Every student has a preferred method of communication and that may change as they go through their program.
In the course, I have found that social media can be an effective tool for interacting with students. Although texting may feel too personal for some forms of communication, it can be highly useful for sending reminders about deadlines and projects. The most important thing to consider is ensuring that all students have access to the communication platform.
There are many ways to communicate with students and with in each of the formats there are different features to be used as needed. Finding the right tool for your students is very important.
Effective communication is essential in any context, whether personal, professional, or academic. With the advancement of technology, various tools have emerged that facilitate communication, optimize the exchange of information, and enhance collaboration among individuals and teams.
When deciding on which technology communication tools to use there is a need to review each technology communication tool and assess the function of the tool in conjunction with how to effectively convey the message. Without investigating the different communication tools thoroughly, the wrong tool may be selected and the communication process will be hindered.
