Virtual Education-How do we Communicate when the World is the Classroom?

The world of education is changing rapidly with the advent of learning virtually-a worldly approach to teaching which decentralizes the classroom setting out of the brick and mortar.  The world becomes the classroom.  You may be thinking, well all we are doing is staring at computer screens, and you may be correct..this funny picture represents old school communication before the internet social media craze...So many ways to communicate and connect globally...but which one is most appropriate for Virtual Education?

I could show you lists upon lists of different internet tools for best practices for the Virtual Classroom...but if you are anything like me your head would be spinning and you would want to use ALL of them in your virtual education classes to make it look like you are reaching every student based on their learning and communication preference!  It baffles the mind! That's what communication is like these days, and you almost have to become a People Pleaser when you meet new people..
I often find myself asking, so which is your preferred method of communication?

• Text?
• Email? 
• Facebook posts and chat?
• Twitter?
• Old Fashion talking on the Phone?
• Skype or Google Hangout Video Chat? 
• or the classic Write a Letter or Card, put it in an envelop, put a stamp on it and put it in a Mail Box? (or as we now cleverly know it as Snail Mail)

 Did I miss Any?

I really do ask these questions of people, and I really do communicate with them in the only way they will communicate with me, which makes Me communicate in Every Way Humanly Possible these days-especially with my Virtual Students..you really got to think on your feet and be on your toes to reach them!
My goal as a modern day communicator with Everyone in my World is "Keepin it Simple"
My blog will explore how to choose and accomplish this in hopefully the most simple way possible.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy my blogs, and I am committed to brevity and simplicity!
