Building Bridges
Communication with friends and family has been drastically changed with the use of new computer technologies. Why then, do we continue to limit ourselves in the way we communicate with students and their families? See how you can communicate effectively and extend learning beyond the classroom through the use of a range of digital technology including email, blogging, podcasting and My Classes. See also how you can engage students and make learning resources available online for students to explore further at home.
