week 9 communications

Lecture

Today we learn't about communication and how to cummunicate through different methods.

communicating can be between indivisuals, indivisuals and organisations, within a business and between a business and a external organisation. There are different devices that help you communicate between people these are:

• mobile telephones


• video and tele-conferencing


• pods, mps, lap-tops
  
• multi-media communications

There are ways to communicate so that you get your veiw accross. complainning through email is not a good thing to do becuase u can't get your emotional side accross, emails can seem informal and you might send the wrong message and confuse the reader. Emails can also be easily intercepted and read by the wrong people and the emails could contain private information which can be fowarded on easily to other people.

when construting a letter or any formal writing you have to use proper words such as:

• dear/hello


• write correct and clear message


• thanks/regards


• and make sure to have all your details on the page.

There are many benefits of using ICT, you can use it for online chat, online articles social and academic, web conferencing, internet phone, blogs, wiki webs and podcasts.

The internet is a great way to communicate and can only get better in the years to come.

Tuturial

Activity 1:

We were asked to search a subject in google on group, I entered basketball and it came up with different groups on basketball. One link was called championcard.com and a couple of links were the same and they were on what star sign basketball players are.

Activity 2:

I went to this site that was about general enquiries on collage basketball in united states. Some of the questions were on recruiting violations and has a player saing how he felt after they lost reginal semi finals.

Activity 3:

I was asked to visit a pod cast site to listern to some. I entered basketball and it came up with some recent basketball games. I had no audio so i couldn't listern to any.

Activity 4:

Pod cast are a good idea for students. the student can listern to valuble information on the net and stop it when ever they please to make some extra notes. Hopefully lectures can be recorded on podcast so that if the studuent is absent for the lecture they can listern to it later in there own time.

Readings:

1. This weeks reading was a guide to using email, and there a couple of sites to look at. The first site was on the email do’s and don’ts. It tells you how to send an email in the most efficient way to get your message across. When you send an email make sure it’s the correct way of communication for the message, use correct words and tone so that the wrong message isn’t sent. If you would like a response make sure you tell what the receiver should respond to.
2. The second site was on essential email etiquette. The page tells you about when sending emails make sure your title reflects what the email is about. The recipient should be clear and full have the full name attached. Make sure to avoid irony and sarcasm because it is hard to tell for the receiver if you are joking or telling the truth.

2nd reading
This reading was on spam and the problem it brings to your email. The correct term for spam is Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). The problem with spam is that for the cost of one message being sent they can send a million messages and this means that there is no control over how many are sent. The bad thing about spam is that it cost the receiver money without even noticing it.
