Digital Tools with a Purpose: Communication

Teachers, advisors, tutors, and directors need to communicate with their students outside of in-person class meetings as well as for distance education classes. Keeping in touch and continuing instruction are more important than ever. What digital tools can help us continue to provide real-time practice and support? What asynchronous communication tools are most effective to allow people to participate when schedules permit? And how can we choose the best ones to use according to staff and student needs?

This webinar addresses four tools:  

• Remind for messaging and more
• Google Voice for phoning and texting
• Zoom for real-time video meetings
• Screencast-O-Matic for creating narrated instructional recordings of anything you show on your computer screen, including yourself via your computer camera
