Communicating in Today's World
Today, so much of our communication happens through technology. We have Skype, texting, emailing, blogging,YouTube, and social networks that all help us to interact with the world around us. It is important that as a teacher we teach our students the complications of communicating in our digital world. A very important aspect that we need to inform our students about is that there is no emotion in text. The way you read it when you write it, is not always the way someone else reads it. Being careful of how you phrase things can save you a lot of trouble.
Another important aspect of communicating in today world, is that anyone has access to what you put online or send over text or email. Using any of the above communications tools has become day to day life for most people. Sometime it is easy to think that you can put whatever you want up and it is okay. As teachers we need to make sure that students under what is acceptable to send and post and what is not.
