Reaction to Week Three

Week Three Voicethread Reaction

During the voice thread Dr. West discussed communication. I enjoyed reading all the students comments on how they communicate with their professors and peers. Many said they communicated to their professors through email. I agree, I like to communicate with my professors through email too. You can really get a fast response. I enjoy being able to shoot my professor an email at before bed and have it answered by the time I wake up. A lot of people said that they enjoy communicating with their peers through text messaging, facebook, on the phone, and webcam.

I think as teacher, I would like to try to make myself as available as possible to my students. I want to especially be available by email because that can be a very convenient method of communication. I also want to be available over the phone, facebook, webcam, and text. I want my students to be able to access me any through any method they find convenient.

I feel that websites for classes are really valuable for students to. It allows them to access the syllabus, their reading assignments, and homework assignments whenever they need it. I also plan to post my lecture slides on my website. I feel like it is important to do this so students can focus more on listening and taking supplementary notes during the lecture instead of copying down the lecture slides.
