This document discusses teaching students effective communication skills. It begins by outlining three Common Core State Standards related to presenting information to others, using digital media to enhance understanding, and adapting speech for different contexts. The purpose section notes that online writing has additional purposes beyond traditional ones, such as collaboration and sharing ideas. Various ways of communicating are then listed, including social media, email, blogs, and documents. Blogging is expanded upon, describing it as an online diary that allows daily or weekly entries and collaboration through commenting. The document concludes by citing two references on literacy and online research skills needed for the 21st century.

- 3. Purpose “Writing online has additional purposes, beyond the traditional text purposes outlined in the Common Core writing anchor standards—specifically, to argue, inform, and narrate. The purpose of writing for online media and environments...includes one or a combination of traditional purposes as well as such purposes as collaboration, exchange of ideas, self- and group reflection and feedback, and generation of new ideas.” (Drew, 2012, p. 327)

- As we have previously discussed throughout this presentation, the world of learning has changed. Students have to use a set of skills in order to guide and process their learning, specifically when it comes to online learning. The next portion of online learning is communication.
- According to the CCSS, students must be able to present information, express information and complete communicative tasks. Each of these task require that students are able to present and share their ideas. One way to accomplish this task, while incorporating 21st century learning skills is to encourage students to communicate, write, online.
- Once students have completed the previous steps of locating, evaluating, and synthesizing information they need to be able to communicate their findings. Communication in our new realm of technology and online learning can incorporate two things, as mentioned by Drew in the following quote. We want students to be able to communicate their ideas in a variety of ways. We want them to communicate not only what they have learned as a part of the research process, but what they have learned as a result of interacting with others in an online community. In the following presentation we are going to look at ways that students can communicate their findings and learnings in this new world of digital technology and online learning. The one thing to keep in mind as we are going through this presentation, it is not that we are saying the old way is out, as a part of the CCSS, students can still publish their writing in word documents and write reports, we are just trying to show you other ways they can present this information and other ways they can communicate their learning. With the world at their fingertips, why not spend time them how to communicate successfully with as much of it as they can?
- There are many ways for students to communicate information, both online and with technology. Some of the more familiar tools are programs such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. As we move towards more online learning we can incorporate other forms of communication through various forms of social media such as Edmodo (classroom type Facebook), Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Google +, to name a few. There is also the opportunity for students to use programs and apps such as Educreations, Popplet, Screencast, and many many others. I want you to remember that while the ways we can communicate information may have changed, we are not necessarily changing WHAT it is we want students to communicate. Every one of these tools has a particular purpose, the purpose is either set by the teacher or the project or the task. It is our purpose as educators to help students learn the right way to communicate dependent on the tool and purpose. Today I am going to show you one of the ways students can communicate information that can serve a variety of purposes.
