CED 534, Week Five

Video e-mails and VOIP calls could be incorporated at the early elementary level. Video e-mailing would be a way for me to send "be good" messages to my students when I'm out of the classroom unexpectedly. That should make them shape up! VOIP would also be a way for our PLC teams to collaborate outside of our meetings. Additionally, VOIP could be used as a way to include parents in meetings about their students without the need for them to leave work. I think it would be more effective than conference calling because we would be able to see the non-verbal communication and better understand their opinions.
