Classroom Communication Analysis

My family often worked together to accomplish tasks such as unloading the hay wagon. Communication was key in this chore as it ensured that the hay was stored properly. I also learned communication skills while I was learning to drive the tractors. I had to listen to my father and brother as they explained what each pedal and each lever controlled. Without good communication between us, the process of teaching me to drive would have been tedious and tiresome. Growing up on a hobby farm, I was taught the value of good communication as means to successfully work together and learn new

Our group worked on all the components of the project together, which included the research, reference pages, scripts, and the PowerPoint. I believe our decision to not assign specific tasks to a single individual allowed us to fully understand all the information and get along better due to the fact we all were doing the same amount of work. In a group setting, we had to work together and communicate with one another in order to create a suitable presentation. One thing I saw that our group thrived at was listening to one another. Our book defines listening as the “active, complex process that consists of being mindful, physically receiving messages, selecting and organizing messages, interpreting messages, responding, and remembering (Wood, 2016).” Each group member had to

One of the things that worked well in our group was the willingness of those in the group to listen to each other and entertain various viewpoints. I think that mutual respect is the key when working with groups. Each of us played different roles in the group: some of us were listeners, some of us were leaders, and some who were initially listeners became leaders as the group went on. Within our group we had different personality types and communication styles.

Being an excellent listener is one of the best ways to become a good communicator. Throughout the group work, the author demonstrated great communication skills when listening to her team’s different ideas and then taking them on board to create the best results. Fellow team members will appreciate good listening skills, and so in return, it will have a positive impact to the group’s mood, and encouraging them to be confident to speak up and say their thoughts as they know their ideas are being listened too.

The major benefit of working in a team for me is that it facilitated and provide a great exercise to develop a teamwork skill. As I work in a team, I learned not only to confidently tell my ideas to the whole group member, but also to listen to their ideas and feedbacks. A leader was not elected for the group. In return, each group member with different background take turns to talk about their ideas. We discussed problems and ideas of how the presentation is going to go with an open-mind and understanding. Our group has a total of two meetings in Monash University and went through each process together to make sure that we all had an agreement.Working together from the very first start is very important as it improved outcomes (SOURCE). My team members and I felt free to share our ideas and

Pupil B has learnt oppositional and defiant behaviours towards adults who try and enforce school structures. The effect is that during this behaviour B is not expected to engage. On these occasions, behaviour often results in screaming, throwing furniture or running and hiding. The latter is also learnt behaviour from his background. When upset, B will conceal himself in very small places where he will engage in self-harming.

For the past twelve years, COM 434 Radio/TV Practicum has gone through many changes, but the learning that goes on in the classroom and in the television studio remains the same. The Calumet Roundtable is a unique class, giving students a real world experience in the field of television production. The organizational communication of this course has shifted throughout the semester each teaching individuals various lessons: having inadequate note for your superior or talent is going to affect the outcome; hiding information from your supervisors is never a beneficial thing because it reflects negatively on them; abusing your power is unethical for personal gain; and every leader has different personality and unique managing styles. Considering

After reviewing the classroom case study of 10 year old Jimmy who is a fifth grader having issues academically succeeding in school. His teacher Ms. Merkle believes he has the ability to succeed, but needs some help with staying focused and on task.

We are at the beginning of week six of training and there is one goal I have set to achieve by week eight. This goal is communication, more precisely the way I speak. When I am nervous my tone tends to rise and fall abruptly or when I am thinking of what to say I tend to use filler words and I would sort of click my tongue. To improve upon my communication skills I will step out of my comfort zone and speak to people I am unfamiliar with, such as people on the light rail which I take daily. I will also think through what I want to say to minimize filler words and other bad

I remember a time when I had to collaborate with a group of co-workers. It was a group of six, as a group we needed to come up with “Helping Our Mortgage Customers Save Their Home”. We as a group had to develop different ways to assist customers in saving their home, even if that meant discussing ways to let the home go for sale. We as a team developed an identical objective by learning from each other, sharing ideas, and knowledge. However, we shared ideas on the steps to modify your home, and the various options that are available to each homeowner. We collaborated on government plans that were also available. In order for the collaboration to work, we as a team had to work together to schedule meeting

The authors of The leadership Challenge contend that collaboration is the master skill that enables organizations and groups to function effectively and that “Collaboration is sustained when you create a climate of trust and facilitate effective long-term relationships among your constituents”. The questions asked what am I/others doing to promote collaboration and trust among groups? Personally being in Bobcats Against Hunger there is a lot of collaboration happening all the time. Specifically right now we have been collaborating on a big fundraising event coming up in November. When planning this event we were all throwing ideas out, then we started to decide on things like where, how and when and this was our group collaboration. Through every step of planning Toss Away Hunger we were constantly in contact through our groups me and weekly executive board meetings. Having both virtual communications as well as face-to-face interaction helped greatly. I think since we did have both ways of communicating it also helped build trust, because we could message if we had a question or message when we finished something such as the t-shirt.

Collaboration is a theme which relies heavily on interdependence within a group. It differs from teamwork in that it everyone’s actions are united in reaching a goal, as opposed to each individual acting separately to achieve a shared goal- often with a leader in charge. Under collaboration, everyone is equal and has the same role in achieving a goal. This means that there are no members that put in all the work or no work at all. Group members have to be flexible in listening to each other, and they have to respect each other and think together in order to act together. A lot of ideas must be shared, as well as power, and work. I think it is extremely important to know your collaborators well in order to trust them-

As a future educator, I will definitely use tons of technology in my classroom! Technology is growing so rapidly, and it important to make sure students are comfortable using it. For students to be successful outside of school, they need to know how to use technology and communicate effectively online. It is very important to me that I continue to learn more about educational technology tools, so I can incorporate current technologies in my classroom. Continually learning about new technologies is a great way to engage in personal growth. I have learned so much in this class alone about educational technologies from this class alone, and I know there is still so much out there for me to learn about.

I seek to create a reading rainbow classroom community. I believe the three most important characteristics and/or behaviors I strive to help develop are language and literacy development, social and emotional development, Phonemic awareness, Reading comprehension, Fluency (oral reading) and vocabulary development because learning to read may be a challenge but with early help most reading problems can be prevented. Children’s reading skills are important to their success in school and work. These characteristics are important because if a child has difficulty with language and literacy and the way he articulates his words when pronounced he may be lost in

When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.
