Entry 1: Technology to Support Communication

Introduction
Development of a fresh communiqu tool is swiftly educating teamwork, wisdom and
abilities for conversation. Innovative communiqu tools are too contributing the chance of
breaking down the obstacles of time, space, and situations. Technology that was mostly used for
economic growth, research, and businesses is now being offered to an entirely new variety of
individuals; especially in the field of learning and education (Kramlich, 2012). In todays time
technology in a classroom has permitted educators to interconnect successfully with fathers,
mothers, and schoolchildren. Using technology in a classroom has invigorated educators in
creating a schoolchild-center classroom, someplace schoolchildren can proceed with vigorous
roles in their education. Research shows that communication through technology can improve
students educational learning and teaching in many aspects (Kramlich, 2012). Teaching the
combining technology will improve communiqu by using mobile devices, websites, and email
Technology to Enhance Communication
Name of Communication Tool: Mobil Devices
Furthermore, teachers have used mobile devices to help keep an open line of communication
between parents and students. Many teachers are turning to free online mobile applications to
collaborate and communicate with parents about students performance and ongoing activities.

Teachers have kept an open line of communication with parents and other students by using buzz
mob. Buzz mob is a free app that allows parents to see all activities occurring in class on a daily
basis. Teachers make good use of this free app making posts on an interactive calendar that
allows parents to see all future activities. Buzz mob also allows parents to see student grades and
event notifications that allow parents to stay abreast of any upcoming events (Kamlich, 2015).
Students also benefit from mobile devices. Use of mobile devices allows students to stay
connected with teachers and allows students to conduct research outside of the classroom.
Teachers have used mobile devices to help students find different applications that will help them
to better understand lessons. Students also benefit from mobile devices because teachers are able
to send students homework reminders and class assignments. Teachers also use mobile devices
for communication by allowing students to use the Google text messaging service. This service
allows students to see events occurring in different parts of the world (Newell, 2014).
Name of Communication Tool: Websites
Regular communiqu amongst parents and educators can be a very difficult task to
achieve. Yet, as teachers one should strive for regular interaction as a way to involve parents with
classroom life and students achievement. This can be accomplished by the use of classroom
websites. Many teachers have used classroom websites as a form of daily communication to
parents about activities occurring in classrooms by integrating daily instructions on the webpage.
Students also benefit from a class webpage to connect from the comfort of their home. Students
whom are sick at home have the option of logging on to see what activities occurred at school
that day and what lessons have taken place. Students can also use teacher websites to see all
homework assignments and study guides. Teachers websites can also be utilized by the global
community by using different project materials to help students to collaboratively master

academic challenges. Teachers also use global communication when allowing students from
different cultures to work together by creating a website that supports students that are bullied
(Sanderson, 2015).

Name of Communication Tool: E-mail

Parental and educator communiqu plays a serious part in a scholars accomplishments.
Typically parental -educator communiqu would become challenging, occur at any selected
period, or whenever an educator associates with the parentages concerning a youngster. Though,
the usage of an e-mail will intensely change the approach parentages and educators connect.
Email is demonstrated as an actual means of communiqu for parentages, educators, and
scholars. Educators use e-mail to connect to parentages regarding the youngsters performance,
teachers, and forthcoming happenings. Usage of e-mails have too benefited scholars as well.
Research shows that e-mail has helped improve students learning and participation by 12
percent (Docktrell, 2015). Educators use e-mail to connect with scholars by assisting them on
what assignments were overlooked or missed when they were out ill, and also what is to be
expected in the classroom. Furthermore, email communiqu will rise communication amongst
the scholar and educator. Email has also been used by teachers to communicate with the global
community by interacting with other students in different parts of the globe, and by accessing
resources online to make connections between the local and global community (Docktrell,
2015).

Communication Internet Security and Safety

Additionally, the internet will become a perfect means for children. Though technology
has transformed communiqu, it also provides an immeasurable amount of learning tools and
assets for scholars. Any overlooked key on the other hand, will cause a severe danger to scholars.
The use of internet can also pose serious risks and can raise serious issues for students of all
grades and it has created many opportunities for unsafe and inappropriate behavior among
students (Chaudhary, 2015). Displaying and assisting scholars in learning around internet safety
is the duty of every single grownup in a scholars' life, plus educators in every topic matter. Risky
usage of internet takes retrieving prohibited, unsuitable, and dangerous content moderately
informal for some consumers. There are a quantity of methods that internet safety and security
will be maintained in the schoolroom. Primary, importance of instructors are up and around and
well-informed about properly using search engines, social media, and how they can guarantee
cyber security and safety. Uncertainty educators whom are not well-informed in these parts,
cannot be probable to guiding scholars in appropriate internet does.

Concluding Paragraph
To sum up, it is unblemished that technology is the means of the forthcoming for thinkers
of this future peer group. Technology tools will prolong education in a commanding way when
effectively incorporated in the curriculums. Technology has demonstrated in helping offer
educators and scholars with means to work together, ways to enter a current prime material, and
a chance for educators to prompt their appreciativeness. This is skillful through images, texts,

accurate assessments, and appropriate education. It absolutely influences scholars educational

success, and aids educators to keeping an exposed lines of communiqu amongst parentages and
