It seems that the main problem is to organise communications in an organised manner. I would put a policy:
1. I need a 1 week minimum to reply to emails or blog posts, tweets…etc.
2. Webinars will be hosted weekly for 2 hours on Friday 12:00PM EST (It works for most of times zones)
3. Posted questions or problems must be accompanied with a proposed solution
I recommend using the free online webinar service: www.bigbluebutton.com
Hi Nidal,
I had not heard of bigbluebutton, but will definitely check it out. Thank you for sharing the resource.
Nidal,
I totally agree with you that the main issue is all about organization. However, what happens when you are using multiple platforms like we are in ETEC 565A? Each tool has it’s own communication tools. I feel like that just complicates the issue for the teacher and the student. I wish that we had a communication aggregator service that could be the middle man for all the various mediums that are out there.
