Journal #16 Communication Tools

There are many tools that as a student and part of a group you can use in order to communicate with my partners in the Franklin Virtues Project partners. One tool that we can use and already have used is skyping. We skyped with the seniors who have previously done the project from Farmington. We got to talk to them to get information about the project, and get information about Farmington and what they do there and the similarities and differences to Plains. We found out that they are actually very similar to Plains. They are pretty much living in the middle of a cornfield too. They said they do not do anything really in the actual town but go to athletic games and stuff like that. It was very similar to to Plains. They are pretty much as close to Peoria as Plains is to Springfield. There are also many other tools that we can use to communicate. We could also use Facebook to communicate, but that may be a little harder because all of the people in your group or project may not have Facebook. Email is another one. We can email them to get information about how they are doing on their projects and to transport our finished things for the project. For the people that are in my group that go to plains I can pretty much use any form of communication.It is going to be good for us to learn to communicate completely digitally because other students can use the same methods. In college we may have to do that or when we work in the workforce when we are older a lot of jobs require you to email your co workers and get information on the project at hand. We have such a different form of communication than our parents had when they were our age. I think that it is very important that we learn as many ways to communicate as possible. This project is a good preperation in the future for us in college or in the work force.
