Communicating

Online communication between students, mentors and teachers can help a scientific investigation progress more efficiently. TaLe for DET only (under the link tools+) has advice about social media tools including email, online forums, blogs, wikis and podcasts. Learn more about wikis from this web site. NSW DET provides for its schools an Online Communication Guide which should be accessed.

One simple and direct way of facilitating communication between students and with their mentors is through email. A support tutorial for the use of email is found at AGQTP. Larger groups may prefer other social media tools. Cybersafety is essential and it is important to train students in cybersafety in sites such as Cybersmart. This site also provides support for the use of social media and networking if you follow links to schools and technology guides.
