QUOTE: "We must teach communication comprehensively, in all its forms. Today we work with the written or spoken word as the primary form of communication. But we also need to understand the importance of graphics, music, and cinema."
REACTION: I agree 100% on this quote. Communication is so important. We use communication in our everyday lives. We communicate with our friends, family, and everyone in between. Communication is a great skill to have and to learn. In the classroom children need to learn how to comunicate with their classmates and with their teachers. Communication is a skill you need to learn and develop as the tme goes by. In the future when you are looking for a job, they will admire your communication skills. If a person dosen't have communication skills this is defenitly a problem. Graphic, music, and cinima are all very important when dealing with communication as well. We have to understand all aspects of communication. You can communicate face to face, telephone, txting. They are so many other ways to communicate that we all need to be aware of an develop good communication skills.

I love this video. I feel like a lot of students are faced with a lot of visual material everyday and don't always know what it means. As teachers we are responsible for teaching what these visual pictures and photos are. Again, communication is the key!

I agree. Communication is crucial and sometimes it seems that teachers and schools downplay the importance of communication by teaching the way they always have even though communication has changed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Jennifer. Communication is key in everyday life as well as in the professional sector. I think movies and graphics are very important in the way students are learning as well. Everything we see and experience is effecting our thoughts and feelings.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Communication is very important. Students don't realize how important it is because of all the technology but we as teachers need to help them understand just how important it is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that communication is key and you are correct. However students not only need to learn to communicate though writing and speech. Also students need to learn how to get their message across to their audience though music, pictures, and film with out saying anything.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for this video! I'm going to use it to jump start the media literacy project
