Communication: Students always want to talk....

Of the six national standards for technology, one that can be stressed and easily reinforced within the classroom in Communication and Collaboration.Young people are always striving to find new ways to connect themselves to each other. Throughout the past twenty years various technological advances have occurred that have all allowed us to communicate easier, more frequently and most importantly inexpensively.

From touch tone phones to car phones to cellular devices, to smart phones. A revolution of communication has occurred. Emailing has transitioned from instant messaging to text messaging, to skype. I believe that communication between young people is an element of society that is reinforced by the media and a quest to know answers immediately.
