Discussion 3.1
For our online meet up, we chose to use Facebook. Facebook is a great tool because you can access it from anywhere: phone, computer, iPad, tablet, etc. At our school, Facebook isn't blocked, so we could use this as a way to instant message each other. I think, nowadays, it is a lot easier to send a colleague, parent or student an email to talk about something. As for using Facebook with my students, the parents or other colleagues, that is a slippery slope. When I taught high school, my rule was: once you graduate, you can add me on Facebook. Of course, there are certain students I would never add, but there are some I would love to keep in touch with. I would not use Facebook with my current students. It is too easy for my students to snoop around my Facebook page. I do not need them to know what I am up to in my personal life. However, if I created a class page or group, then that would be different. I could make privacy settings and they wouldn't be able to see my person page.
I coached water polo for five years and I made a water polo group on Facebook. I posted our workout schedules, game schedules, announcements, pictures, stats, etc. I kept it a closed group, so I had to invite you to be in the group. Three different summers we took our athletes to Hungary to compete. I used both a Facebook page and a Blogspot to keep the parents in the loop. It was a great way for parents to see pictures and I would write daily updates as well. I think this really kept the parents at ease because they were constantly updated and could see what their daughters were doing.
Another platform that we used was Google docs. Jenn and I work at the same school, so we were able to brainstorm some more ideas for our Prezi on a Google doc. We could both be on the document at the same time and add whatever we wanted. This was a great platform because we were abel to do this while we were at work. Teachers are the best at multitasking!
What do you find is the best way to communicate with your colleagues while at work?
