How to get started

  1. Figure out a nickname - or a name you will use
  2. gmail account first, for all your social networking. Keep your school address for school matters. Use a nickname
  3. Google - set up an iGoogle page for yourself for rss feeds
  4. Bookmarks - either del.icio.us or diigo
  5. Twitter account - the fastest way to see what others are doing. Plurk account - you can pose questions and get responses
  6. Plurk account, each 140 character post in a thread
  7. Simple webpage to post
  8. Second Life, virtual world and professional growth
  9. Blog - set up a blog

 

Have a picture ready, a short resume (less than twenty words) that you will use for your profile.

Please fill out your profile immediately, with whom you are, a picture and other important information.

I WILL NOT FOLLOW ANYONE IF I DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

Top Four Important Threads to a Great Communicator

    Know your Purpose

    Reliable, KEEP IT UP TO DATE

    Answer emails

    Know what communication works for each person

          emailers          website surfers          phone          handwritten notes


 

Purpose - What's Yours?

    -Informational - Calendars, Cast List, Grades

    -Expect a response, HOW QUICKLY?

    -Instructional - “Sage on the Stage”

    -Presentation versus Handout

    -One-to-one instruction versus WHOLE CLASS

 

Social Networking, multi-media sharing, wikis

Youtube Videos from CommonCraft

Personal Computing

 

Teaching good internet skills by example - Have an internet presence that is positive and clean

 


 

Various forms of Communication - each has a separate use.

    Always think 5:00 news.

 

    Snail mail

    Website, Blog and eCard

    Voice mail

    email

    IM and text messaging

    Personal Phone call

    Personal contact

 


 

Snail Mail

   Use this if it is informational and not time-sensitive

 

Website

    1.0 or 2.0 - do you communicate on it?

 

Voice Mail

    Three days versus one day turn around on email

    Have Caller ID. If important, answer directly.

 

Email

1. re: TELL THE ANSWER

        incorrect:  Hi

       Correct:    Re: Here are all the bookmarks

2. Don't send a paper invitation to be printed out - just write out information

3. Two uses of .pdf

-Sign a form

-Keep information intake, no one can change - protected (somewhat)

 

Set up various accounts for different things

        -school

        -personal

        -web magazines

        -communication online for collaboration

 

IM - Instant Messaging
