Creative Solutions

What can be accomplished best online?

What can be accomplished best in person?

Teacher/educator collaboration
Model: teacher –teacher-librarian

B Classroom (how much in person/ how much online)

Suggestion:

Internal learning: reading, writing, thinking

External learning: communication best with physical presence – so much lots body language, irony, facial expression, pacing, timing – jumping in at right time – nuanced back and forth – not paragraph exchanges

Opinion - In order to be a good online communicator, one must be a good writer – most people aren’t – also must be text-based brain (or use images)

Special skill – communication on line –write guidelines – we are practiced in daily conversation – students learning English are more accomplished in conversation – their writing is awkward

Result – special online language – text message shortcuts to express emotions – superficial and flawed (What does OMG really communicate?)
