The document summarizes different perspectives on communication technology use in schools:
1) "The Resistor" sees technology as making communication worse and believes face-to-face is best.
2) "The Dabbler" uses some tech but struggles to incorporate all available tools.
3) "The Avant-Garde" stays up-to-date and believes tech improves relations.
It also provides statistics on student tech access and use, notes benefits and cautions of email communication, and discusses developing an Acceptable Use Policy and using technology for instructional purposes like distance learning and interactive whiteboards.
Meru Networks : Avoiding Campus Wi-Fi Move-in Day BluesCTOBuddy.com
In this video, you will learn how to tackle the wireless connectivity challenges that schools face every semester, without compromising on the quality, safety and security of the Wi-Fi connection. Schools these days are expected to keep up with the high demands of the tech-savvy generation glued to their Wi-Fi devices. Delayed, slow or complicated connectivity issues immediately put off students. They don't think a moment before ranting about it on social forums that cause an irreparable damage to the reputation of the school. While students expect easy and flawless wireless connectivity from day one, the school's IT teams struggle to keep up with the barrage of devices each student brings in. IT also has to ensure wireless LAN solutions provide uninterrupted Wi-Fi connectivity in classrooms, libraries and in every corner of the campus, which adds to the endless anxiety of the school staff. Wireless registration, authentication and access don't have to be so cumbersome and complicated. Meru's bring-your-own-device (BYOD) solution for universities ensures network security and balanced network loads at all times thereby providing hassle-free Wi-Fi access. It also automates many of the requirements for maintaining and managing a secure, high-performance network, giving the much needed relief to the IT staff.

Bilim, Teknoloji ve Sanayide Türkiye’nin DurumuUfuk Kılıç
Türkiye İşveren Sendikaları Konfederasyonu (TİSK), OECD tarafından yapılan ve 46 ülkenin Ar- Ge yatırımları, teknolojik durum ve bunlara dayalı yeni sanayileşme çabalarına yönelik karşılaştırmalı analizini değerlendiren bir rapor yayınladı.
OECD çalışmasında, çeşitli kriterlerle ölçülen Ar-Ge, inovasyon, teknoloji seviyesinde ya OECD ortalamasının altında ya da son 5 ülke içinde olduğu tespit edildi. Araştırmada, devletin rolünün de sınırlı kaldığı kaydedildi.
TİSK, OECD Bilim Teknoloji ve Sanayinin Görünümü 2014 raporuna dayalı olarak “Bilim, Teknoloji ve Sanayide Türkiye’nin durumu” başlığını taşıyan bir rapor yayınladı. TİSK çalışmasında, OECD’nin 46 ülke üzerinden yaptığı değerlendirmede, Türkiye’nin teknoloji ve Ar-Ge açısından son 5 ülke içinde olduğu vurgulandı.
Türkiye’nin bilim, teknoloji, sanayi ve beceriler alanında zayıf kaldığı ve devletin de hem finansman hem de yönlendirme açısından pasif kaldığı tespitlerine yer verilen araştırmada, “Bilim, teknoloji ve Ar-Ge’de ulusal hedefl erle mevcut durum arasında büyük mesafe bulunduğu, Türkiye’nin sıçrama yapmaya ihtiyaç duyduğu” kaydedildi. Rapora yönelik yapılan TİSK değerlendirmesinde, bilim, teknoloji ve Ar-Ge’de mevcut zayıf konumun yanı sıra, diğer ülkelerle farkın da büyük olduğuna işaret edildi.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The Resistor, The Dabbler and The Avant Garde
The Resistor
Individuals who ignore technological advances are reassigned throughout the school system
Typically veteran administrators
Believe that communication that worked in the past should work now
Most effective way to communicate: face-to-face, telephone conversation, handwritten/typed notes
– Avoid miscommunication
– Avoid misreading the tone of the information
– Avoids creating a wedge between people
Technology makes communication worse and less genuine
The Dabbler
Educational leader interested in electronics but have trouble keeping up with and effectively utilizing it
Across age brackets and leadership positions
Use some technologies (wifi, cell phones, etc.) but don’t understand how to incorporate the multitude of
technologies available
Believe technology has improved communication but skeptical overuse technology
The Avant-Garde
Educational leader who uses cutting edge technology and stays up-to-date with newest technology
Acceleratingfuture.com
– Near-future technologies
Believe technology advancements improve their school-community relations to meet the needs of stakeholders,
both internally and externally (Fiore, 2011)

5. Communicating via Email
247 billion e-mails are sent each day. That is one e-mail every 0.00000035 seconds
By the time you are done reading this sentence, some 20 million e-mails entered cyberspace
Every second, the world’s email users produce messages equivalent in size to over 16,000 copies
of the Complete Works of Shakespeare
Internet Sources:
•THE Journal
•The Pew Research Center
•Ed Tech Review
1-5
6. Using E-Mail Externally
Communicating with external stakeholders (parents, community stakeholders)
Advantages
– Teacher-parent communication
• Extending learning to the home
• Open lines of communication
– Students
• Writing/typing experience
– Teachers
– Pen-pals across the globe
– Primary use is to inform
• Convenience of time
• No expectation of a response
Use with caution
– Should not be used in circumstances where more communicative “effort” is more appropriate
– Used for non-essential information that are least likely to be misinterpreted
– Anything on “paper” is subject to personnel or student record
1-6
7. Using E-Mail Internally
Communicating with internal stakeholders (administration, faculty and staff)
Advantages
– Implication to budget - Cut cost of paper
– Address a single person, or a group of people
– Communicating important information at any time of day (outside school hours)
Practical Application
– List of recipients tailored to meet certain needs
• Whole school
• English Department
• Grade level chairs
Applications
•Inform staff of meetings and agendas
•Share information about new research
•Updates from VDOE
•Follow-up from a previous meeting with staff
•School newsletters
•Parent connections – helpful tips
•Community fundraisers
1-7
8. Proceed cautiously with E-mail
Email flaws and “imperfections”
•recognized as the most used form of on line communication
•school districts focuses their efforts on the security issues
Schools set up their own system for internal e-mail
•in an effort to avoid viruses to spread through emails
•destroy the computer infrastructure as well as inappropriate messages.
Other considerations:
•Content of the email delivered to unwanted people- the power of forwarding an email
•Sending an email before proofreading
•When dealing with a high number of people and setting , a mass email could be sent
•Activity 1: E-mail etiquette
•Activity 2: Identify the errors, what happened
