Chapter 3 Supporting Student Communication

I believed that this chapter was very relavent to how student's view technology. Most students are currently using technology for communication purposes may it be their social network (i.e. facebook, myspace), text messaging, or email. This chapter gives ideas about how technology can be used in the classroom for communication. I love the idea of using skype and other mediums to communicate with students in other schools and other countries, this opens up so many possibilities! Communication through technology also gives a teacher many more resources when working with special needs students or ELL. I believe this chapter is very helpful because it not only gives ideas of how to use these technologies to enhance your student's learning but it allows the students to learn communication methods that will be used in the their future and in the work place!
