October Reflection

Communication is how someone shares a message with someone else. There is one way communication where one person shares a message with others. There is also two-way communication in which people can share with each other. Typically two-way communication is more effective.

I communicate with teachers in person, via email, Twitter, Facebook, phone, text and through paper messages. Some paper messages can include grade cards, pink and blue forms, information about events, etc that we are doing that they need information on.

How do you communicate with educators outside of your building? Outside of your district?

When I communicate with educators outside of my building it is typically through Twitter or Facebook. Sometimes I email, call, or text with former colleagues. 

To add onto the questions and talk about my feelings about communication. I am actually a communication major. I think communication is a key factor in being successful in anything you do. Making sure to communicate is key in any relationship whether it is a marriage, a friendship, a community relationship, a student-teacher or parent-teacher relationship, etc. Staff members feel better toward their bosses when communication is done well. That would involve the method, the amount, the content and the clarity of the communication.

I will increase and improve my communication as a teacher by utilizing Twitter better.
