- How have your individual communication skills changed as with the innovations in technology?
- How have advancements in technology altered classroom communication? Will these change further?
Communication skills have changed drastically in the past ten years. As a young child, I can remember watching Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell talk on his mobile phone and thinking this would never happen in real life! When I turned 16 my parents bought me a bag phone....my how that's different now! From letters to emails to text messages communication as become faster and faster. We are a society that demands answers now and can not wait for responses or information.
Classroom communication is not immune to these technological changes. Parents send text messages with questions about homework and teachers can send text reminders when assignments are due. Using google drive, my students and I can work on presentations and documents SIMULTANEOUSLY! I can provide immediate feedback and they can ask questions. I can only imagine how that will progress in the future. I look forward to rolling with the technological times. I hope that I can continue to stay up to date withe technology in education.
