There has been an emerging trend of technology in classrooms, computers and projectors are replacing overheads, and video players, websites and the internet are replacing textbooks and pen/paper. Teachers and students are in a much greater opportunity to stay connected then ever before. Through emails, social media and websites teacher have the ability to reach many more learners then ever before.
In order to prepare and address these goals teacher/instructors are learning how to get plugged in, using sites like you tube, Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn. Even taking it a step further and creating websites or blogs with the information needed available for everyone. Emailing is allowing students to contact instructors with questions and information, and Skype allows face to face conversations creating a more personable experience for online or distance learners.
I will use a blog, Skype, emails, and a website to keep my students in touch and informed to the best of my abilities with all that is happening in class and industry.
