    Communication and Collaboration:


    Communication:

    How To Communicate Clearly
    You need to be able to effectively express your thoughts verbally
    You need to be able to effectively express your thoughts through writing
    You need to be able to effectively express your thoughts in any other non verbal methods of communication. Ex: Body language, appropriate gestures, etc

    How To Be A Good Listener
    You need to be able to understand what your partner is saying
    You need to be able to figure out your partner’s intentions

    Miscellany
    Use communication when you inform, instruct, motivate and persuade
    Use social media and take advantage of technology in order to communicate
    Be multi-lingual






    Collaboration :
    Be respectful of others
    Be flexible and willing to compromise things
    Share responsibilities

    1. What I think is the most important part of the Communications section is that your motive has to be completely clear, meaning it shouldn't be too complex. In order to communicate properly, your words should be easy to grasp so your audience or "team member/s" can be genuinely informed, instructed, motivated, or persuaded. The most essential tip in the Collaboration section is to demonstrate the inclination to work with others. This is actually broad and kind've imprecise because there are only 2 other tips and they're pretty similar to this.

    2. So the advantages to having a blog is being able to understand directions by discussing with others without losing anything that was contributed to the discussion. The disadvantage would eventually be misunderstanding what someone has typed because of the emphasis on certain words or someone misreading something which doesn't happen a lot when talking in person.

    3. I think sharing responsibilities is important because it is not fair for one person do most of the work.

    ICT Literacy

    ICT Literacy is to apply technology effectively in science, literature, or any type of information

    Utilize Technology
    •Use your device to research information on the endless planes of knowledge, also known as the Internet
    •Organize a multitude of ideas on neat, virtual documents
    •Evaluate and Communicate information with peers and fellow scientists and writers using an online communication program
    •Use all of the knowledge in the Internet as seen fit to educate yourself to correctly communicate in an information exchange
    •Learn about online legal policies to use your device effectively and correctly

    ICT Literacy is the application of technology to learn and communicate information. Users can research, organize, and evaluate and communicate knowledge with the press of a couple keys (Or taps on a screen).

      ICT Literacy

      Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Literacy is all about thinking creatively and critically. The process may involve using technology or digital technology in conjunction with communication for problem solving tasks.

      Using digital technologies such as the computer, pdfs, media players, etc. are very handy when it comes to saving information and spreading it. For example, using the internet to share documents with colleagues can be used to further access or evaluate the data, which can later be created into important knowledge. Not only is digital technology great for storing information, but it is also fairly useful to spread it too! Ultimately, it is a tool for information and communication, and it's all just a click away.

      ICT Literacy

      Information and Communication Technology Literacy, commonly abbreviated as ICT Literacy, is the application of digital technology to the classroom or workplace. It both increases productivity in workers and enriches education across a variety of subjects. Currently, ICT is being prioritized in education to give students the foundations they need in an increasingly digital world. The incredible scope of ICT in education is laid out in ICT Literacy sheets, which call out important features such as resource websites, file sharing systems, online tests, and digitally archived media. In addition, ICT Literacy also promotes awareness of laws governing digital technology, such as the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. To the delight of Mainland students, digital resources have been put to especially forward-thinking use at this school, enhancing and streamlining the learning experience.

    Technology Skills

    Obviously technology is a part of every discipline. Technology is used for research and organize information gained.
    • Digital technologies such as computers and PDAs, are necessary tools to be successful today. Learning how to navigate online tools and research is a vital skill.
    • Engineering and satellite technologies allow students to explore earth and planets.
    • Learning STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills make students competitive for future jobs.
    • Other technologies, such as broadcasting technologies (radio and television) are important for communications.
    • e-learning is a new level of education, this blog is an example of it. Entire courses are developed online, communication systems bring together people from all over the world simply and effectively.
    • Technology creates a higher level of collaboration with peers, which makes it important for all students to become well-versed in digital technologies.
