Communication on the Web
Internet used for communication allows us to get messages out quicker and more efficiently regardless of our location. There are many tools that students, educators, family members and the community can use to communicate with one another. Remember, do not give out any personal information (full name, address, phone number, photographs, name of school, etc…).
