InformationWeek Blog E-Mail Is Out With Today's Younger Web Users
Stephen Wellman posted how students differ from their parents and from me. I send email. But students IM, TXT, and social network online. If I am going to make adjustments to how we connnect with students, then I need to begin going "to-their-turf" online. However I need to remain balanced. I may need a few facilitators to help respond immediately to posts and comments. I still have more questions than answers. But I do need to embrace how students stay in touch today.
I added the comments of John Birch which intrigued me and made me think about how i need to consider creating new connecting points for students. I appreciate John's remarks.
Posted on 4/25/2007 07:45 AM EDT Absolutely right. I run a girls rugby team - age group 11-18. After trial and error we basically now contact the girls via a blog and associated RSS feeds, and their parents via email. In emergencies we'd use txt - but that is too expensive for routine use.
So, I wonder if launching a blog with RSS feeds is the first step or if IM, TXT, or MySpace or Facebook is the first step. I wonder what you think.
