Innovations in technology have caused many changes in the way people communicate daily. One issue I see with students often is their knowledge of email etiquette and being able to communicate effectively using technology. Students must know how to give an appropriate greeting in an email and give enough information so that their problem can get solved. I often find students emails are limited in the amount of information they give and lacking an introduction. I try to remedy this by modeling good email etiquette for students and responding to them appropriately even when I get an email from them that could have been a text!
Advancements in technology have improved classroom communication tremendously. I love being able to email students' parents easily and send students messages quickly. There are also cool apps to help make communication with students even easier. Remind 101 is a site that allows you to "blast text" students without them having your actual phone number. Students can also communicate with teachers via Twitter and other social media tools as well!
