At morning breakfast talking about "whether or not technology should be incorporated into Communication classes". There was a conversation that we should start talking about this so we can be "cutting edge." Like teaching them how to use power-point. If you are asking this question, I think you may have missed the boat.
So far I'm hearing a lot about how the teacher might be inconvenienced--not a lot on the benefits for the students.
Obviously, I couldn't keep quiet tool long. I actually went longer staying quiet than I thought.
Electronic communication, communicating more and in different ways. Engagement.
It's not just a matter of convenience. The principles are basically still the same, the medium/context is what might be different.
Rather than be on auto-pilot for a decade and then be lost.
In many regards, students think they are tech savvy but they might not be as much as they think. They are in matters that matter to them, but we can help them in other ways related to communication principles.
Students want the technology and expect them to use it, teach it, model it!
