Why should teachers use technology to communicate with students, parents, and peers?
1.Teachers should use technology to communicate with students, parents, and peers because it is extremely efficient. As long as the person is familiar with the interface, questions can be asked and answered in under five minutes, even from hundreds of miles away! In college and in the real world, students are going to be expected to be able to communicate effectively via technology. Teachers can set an example of what this effective communication looks like.

2. I believe email and blogging have the greatest potential to improve communication between teachers and others. As of right now, most adults are familiar with email and able to use it proficiently. Blogs are not difficult to navigate if they are created well.
How do these tools improve communication?
3. Technology allows teachers to reach out to students, parents, and peers when they are not able to be in their physical presence. Whereas sending notes home can be somewhat unreliable, email ensures successful delivery. It also allows the person to reply at their earliest convenience without having to worry about the time it takes for the information to be returned. Websites and blogs are easy places for parents to visit when they have questions and a great place to showcase student work.
