Online language guidance/rules and assessments by the student and teacher are helpful tools in refining an online course.
I have learned the importance of researhing pros and cons of communication/online resources. Also, making sure to use it in a way that makes sense (i.e: not using all of the features for the heck of it/becaue they are there...use them because they relate and go with what we are trying to accomplish).
Interesting to consider other forms of communication besides email and phone calls. Especially when transitioning from traditional instruction to online.
I think it was important to understand both the formative and summaritive points when discussing technology communication. I agree that ensuring all students have access is critical to the success of the technology method being utilized.
I have learned that using social media to interact with your students can be an efftive tool for communication. I looked at texting to be too personal for communicating with students, but in the lesson, it says texting can be very effictive when needing to remind students of certin projects or deadlines. Just making sure all your students have access to what ever playform you are using is the most important thing to remember.
