General Know the characteristics of Telecommunication. Specific Differentiate the difference between Asynchronous communication and Synchronous communication. Learn how to use the telecommunication in education.

Telecommunication is now a significant way how we can involve students with technology. We have different options as the asynchronous and synchronous communication in order to our students to be communicated with the teacher. We will know the Donts and dos we and students have.

Telecommunication
Telecommuting as a substitute for telecommunications to describe activities in which computers and modems link group with each other and with resources. The telecommunications network is also sometimes referred to as library. 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 indiciduals and groups of individuals and their and their creative output , largely independent of time and space.

Cyberspace is the conceptual world of networked interactions between individuals and their intellectual creations and everything associated with such networks and interactions. 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)

Asynchronous communication

It can be done at any time of the day or night. 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 follor a certain form. First they contain a personal handle that represents you. This is usually your name or a nickname. The second half of the address contains the name of the service provider

Linstservs 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, or ask questions about a topic. To participate you must join a group

Usenet and newsgroups UseNet is a worldwide network of computers that allows users to exchange new articles.

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

Synchronous communications
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

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 or whiteboard capabilities, or a combination of these abilities.

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 to build their own worlds.

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.

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. 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.

Uniform Resource locator: a web pages address is called a uniform resource locator or URL for short. URL has 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 two types of transfer protocol:

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 others: 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.

Dos and Donts


Teacher need to help student learn to follow some important general rules of conduct when the use the internet.

DOs
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.

DON'Ts
Personal messages. Personal messages should always go to the person for whom they are intended.

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.

Chain letters. Never send chain letters though email. They are forbidden on the internet.

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 going.

Avoid ALL CAPS. Teachers should help students understand that they should not use all capital letters in their messages.

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.

Never assume privacy. Students should be helped to understand that they should never assume that their e-mail messages are private.

Be careful when using humor or sarcasm. For the most part, telecommunications is a nonvisual form of communication.

Do not flame another. Students should be cautioned never to send inflammatory messages to other people.

Check e-mail regularly. Like a mailbox at home, email 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.

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.

Edit messages before replying. Sometimes students might wish to reply to a message someone sent on a listserv.

Do not assume that information is current. Students should learn not to assume that the information they receive is current or accurate.

Subject Lines. Any message should always include a subject line that lets the recipient know what the message is about.

Do not perpetuate hoaxes. Many hoaxes circulate around the Internet community. These are passed on by people with good intentions who are trying to help others.

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

Do not open e-mail messages from unknown sources. Sometimes e-mail messages with attachments contain a virus.

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

Search strategies
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. 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. Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Searches: Generally, these strategies result in the information students seek. However, they may find on occasion that their wellplanned search did not produce any results at all.

Evaluating information
Learning to search the Internet for information is an important skill, but the ability to make informed judgments about what is found on-line is even more important. 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. Attending to the Source: Knowing the educational and or occupational background of the creator or compiler of an information resource is important in determining the reliability and accuracy of the resource and the information it contains. Checking for Validity: Determining the intended audience of a particular Internet resource will reveal the intended treatment of the information contained in the work.

Teaching with telecommunications


Telecommunications can help students master the curriculum in effective and meaningful ways. It can bring the worlds libraries to students. It can help students understand the global society in which they live. It can help them practice important research and writing skills. Telecommunications can change the way teachers teach. Telecommunications can provide in depth and current resources and information. Using Telecommunications can provide the opportunity to make learning come alive, to make it more relevant and more realistic.

Ten Telecommunication Strategies

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.

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 website.

WebQuests. It is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information with which students interact comes from the Internet.

Web survey. It asks students to create and post a survey publicly, either through a Web site, listserv, or through securing partner classrooms.

Simulations. These are activities require students to use their imagination to re-create a event or a process

Cooperative Challenge. In cooperative challenges, students work together to meet a challenge or solve a problem. Electronic Pen Pals, Key Pals. 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 e-mail with experts or knowledgeable people in the field they are studying.

An integrated internet lesson


Telecommunications is the latest technology application to reach schools. Carefully and creatively integrated with the ongoing classroom curriculum, it can add an important dimension to learning. No longer must learning be confined by the four walls of the classroom.

Know we have different options to involve our students into technology. We have the resources of how we can evaluate them. We can improve their skills with new techniques and it is not necessary for the teacher to be on line.
