We have a need to relate to others, to find others with common interests, and to be listened to and understood. We also have a need for information. The ability to obtain information we need to raise our families, conduct our public affairs, ear our livelihood, and solve problems shapes the quality of our lives.

 GENERAL

Use telecommunication resources in our lessons.

SPECIFIC - Explain how different cultures are involved in writing e-mails. - List the communication strategies while teaching our students.

 Telecommunications is best understood as the

intersection of a complex infrastructure of globally networked computers, an almost incomprehensible array of resources (library), a conceptual world of individuals and ideas sent and received electronically (cyberspace) and a place where people from all walks of life have the opportunity to share their wants, thoughts , hopes and dreams (a virtual community).

We have three key characteristics of cyberspace.

It is virtual space: a state of mind that is simultaneously real and artificial

It can be entered only by means of some sort of physical access device, such as a computer, telephone, or television
It enables and facilitates interaction and communication between individuals and groups of individuals and their and their creative output , largely independent of time and space.

Asynchronous communication
People cannot be on the computer at the same time.
Internet service provider: ISP is based on the service they offer, price, and the interface they use. Email: It lets you send and receive electronic messages on your computer. Email addresses follow a certain form. First they contain a personal handle that represents you. Listservs. they are made up of a group of emails address for a group of people who form together around a common interest to discuss issues, share information.

Bulletin boards: they are place where you can post a message that other people can read at a later time. Bulletin boards allow people to post messages.

Usenet and newsgroups: Usenet is a word wide network of computers that allows users to exchange new articles.

Telnet. It is a program that lets you log on to another computer on the Internet and give it commands directly.

Synchronous communication
Synchronous communications refers to electronic interaction that occurs at the same time. Internet relay chat: IRC or chat for short. It is when people from all over the world to communicate in real time. MUDs, MOOs and MUSEs: those are interactive virtual worlds that players construct as they go along. These environments encourage students to collaborate and problem-solve. Conferencing tools: It allows you to interact with people across vast distances and in real time. There are various forms of conferencing tools , the most common ones have audio, video.

Telecommunication tools for accessing information

The growing availability of information and services on the internet Is forcing us to face massive amounts of information transmitted at accelerating speeds.

World wide web: This is an information system that provides a uniform means of accessing all the different types of information available on the internet. Hypertext is a method of presenting information by which clicking on selected words acts as a link to related information. Web browser; it is a software program that facilitates communication between you computer and the web. The two common browsers are Netscape communicator and Microsofts internet explorer.

Uniform Resource locator: a web pages address is called a uniform resource locator or URL for short. URL have three parts:
The protocol identifier The domain or the host name of the server The documents pathname.

Bookmarks: those are URL that your computer remembers.

Hypertext markup language: it is the language in which WWW documents are written. Every web page is plain-text file that contains tags or codes.

File transfer protocol: It is a set of files made available on a server for other users on the Internet to download.

There are 2 types of transfer protocol: AsciiL also called text, or binary files, because you will need to tell the computer which type of file you wish to transfer. Ascii usually have the extension .TXT or .DOC.

Binary files are typically date files, particularly graphics files, that were created with an application program, such as a spreadsheet program. Binary files usually have extensions such as . EXE, .COM, .GIF, .JPEG

Search engines: It allows you to type in key words or phrases and then search web pages for these terms.

Netiquette: In order to avoid problems in our interactions with other people, we often develop a set of rules, called etiquette, that we use In our professional lives or in polite company.

Interacting with other: computers that are connected together, it is people that give it life. There people come from many countries, cultures, and backgrounds.

Using resources and services: When accessing resources on a remote computer, students need to remember they are guests. They should learn not to overstay their welcome and to limit the time they spend using a remote system.

Copyrights: Materials on the internet are copyrighted and protected by copyright laws.

Commercial Activities: For a long time, commercial activity was not part of the Internet. However, this is changing as more and more businesses gain access to internet.

Be concise. Many people do not have the time to read long messages. If student want people to pay attention to what they have to say, they should learn to keep their messages short. Avoid flaming. A flame is an inflammatory or critical message. Students can learn to avoid triggering an upsetting response from a recipient by not sending junk mail. Be polite. Students should learn to personalize their messages by beginning their message with the name of the person to whom they are writing. They should learn how to be respectful. Use threads. Threads are series of responses to an original message. By replying to messages instead of starting a new message, students can help a thread of communication.

Be careful when using humor or sarcasm. For the most part, telecommunications is a nonvisual form of communication. Check e-mail regularly. Like a mailbox at home, e-mail should be checked on a regular basis. Failure to do this can result in not receiving or responding to a message in a timely manner. Edit messages before replying. Sometimes students might wish to reply to a message someone sent on a listserv. Subject Lines. Any message should always include a subject line that lets the recipient know what the message is about.

Lurking. When first joining a listserv, take some time to monitor the list before posting.

Replying to a message on a list. If students are members of listserv and somebody asks for help, students should offer help if they can.

Password. Students should learn that a password is very private and should be kept secret and changed frequently. Be forgiving. Above all else, student should learn to be willing to forgive small mistakes.

Personal messages. Personal messages should always go to the person for whom they are intended. Chain letters. Never send chain letters though e-mail. They are forbidden on the internet. Avoid ALL CAPS. Teachers should help students understand that they should not use all capital letters in their messages. Never assume privacy. Students should be helped to understand that they should never assume that their e-mail messages are private.

Do not flame another. Students should be cautioned never to send inflammatory messages to other people.
Spamming. Spamming is equivalent to the kink mail we received in our mailboxes at home or work. It refers to mass mailings of electronic garbage to people you do not know. Do not assume that information is current. Students should learn not to assume that the information they receive is current or accurate. Do not open e-mail messages from unknown sources. Sometimes e-mail messages with attachments contain a virus.

Narrow the Search. One student have analyzed their topics and chosen a sear engine, there are some strategies they can use to narrow the search.

Analyze the Topic. The first step in

beginning a search is a careful analysis of the topic.

Choose a Search Engine. Choosing the

correct search engine to use can help students find what they are looking for.

Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Searches. Generally, these strategies result

in the information students seek. However, they may find on occasion that their well-planned search did not produce any results at all.

Attending to the Source. Knowing the educational and or occupational background of the creator .
Checking for Validity. Determining the intended audience of a particular Internet resource

EVALUATING INFORMATION

Separating Form from Content. Much of the information on the internet is deceptively enticing. When image becomes substance, and the picture all too often substitutes for thousands of words, students are in danger of being misled.

Telecommunicati ons can help students master the curriculum in effective and meaningful ways. It can bring the worlds libraries to students.

Telecommunicati ons can change the way teachers teach. Telecommunicati ons can provide in depth and current resources and information.

Using Telecommunic ations can provide the opportunity to make learning come alive, to make it more relevant and more realistic.

Time must be invested in preparing and searching For the proper activities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Internet is a resource that can be incorporated in the teaching-learning process, students can be involved in a variety of activities that will be meaningful for them and enhance their learning. Full knowledge is not required.

There are tools that not only promote critical thinking in students, but also help them become independ ent learners

Step 1 Introduction:

Teacher introduces the overall themes by providing background information on the topic.
Step 2 tasks It explains clearly and precisely what the learners have to do to complete their project.

Step 3 process
During this stage, students are guided through a set of activities for research.

Telecommunication Strategies
Electronic PenPals r KeyPals. Using this strategy, students
are partnered to communicate with another person- a student, senior citizen, or professional in the field. We Mentoring. In Web mentoring, students are pairs via email with experts or knowledgeable people in the field they are studying. Web Resource. The Web resource strategy takes advantage of the Internet as a research tool. Web Collaboration. When schools partner via e-mail or meet virtually at a web-site. Web survey. It asks students to create and post a survey publicly, either through a Web site, listserv, or through securing partner classrooms.

Cooperative Challenge. In cooperative challenges, students

work together to meet a challenge or solve a problem. Social Action. It is often motivating to students to identify a problem and address it through a service learning project. Web Publishing. Sometimes it is appropriate to ask students to create original documents and publish them on the Web. Simulations. These are activities require students to use their imagination to re-create a event or a process. WebQuests. It is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information with which students interact comes from the Internet.

 Telecommunications is best understood

as the intersection with computers between two or more students, this is applied in our classroom and showing us we are going through a new age where technology is the best way we can teach our students.
