Importance of Meeting Deadlines in Business and Education

Meeting deadlines in business and education is extremely important. Whether you are asked to complete a homework assignment, or finish a task at work, you should always meet the deadline you are asked to. Not only is it unprofessional to leave a task unfinished and not meet the deadline, but it is simply lazy. If you put forth some effort, you can easily complete anything you are asked to do. It is also really important if you are working on a collaborative project, because if you do not finish your task, then the rest of the group is immediately behind and everything is automatically messed up. No one wants that kind of guilt on them do they? The answer is no. If you do not meet a deadline in education, there are always consequences. You get behind in your school work and probably get a detention. You then in turn end up with more work because you have to complete the one you did not. It is always important to meet deadlines you are given because it shows responsibility and maturity. You just look irresponsible and lazy when something is not completed on time. Therefore you should always complete your work on time so you look like a great citizen and student!

Accepting Criticism

When commenting on others things, you should use constructive criticism. If you comment on it and the criticism is harsh and doesn't really help them, there was no point in commenting in the first place. You should use netiquette when commenting and criticizing. Netiquette is etiquette for the web and even though you can not see the person and the person can not see you, you still need to be polite and respectful. Not only do you need to know how to use criticism, but you need to know how to accept it. Many people will take criticism too personally, but you need to know that it is for your own good and will help you in the long run. Criticism is very important if you plan on making your information better. You are getting opinions from others on how they view your work and it will be very helpful when improving your things. Netiquette is also very important because if you aren't respectful, then other people will not be respectful either. They will leave rude comments and then it could just cause some unneeded situations. You should always be respectful and constructive when leaving comments and criticizing. If you remember to do this it will make the experience a lot better.

Using a Wiki To Communicate Information

There are many ways Wiki can be used to communicate information. Wiki is a collaborative website. This means that many people can leave their input in the site and edit it. This is a great way to communicate information because you are not only editing your own information, but others are putting theirs in as well. This allows you to view their input and learn something new. Therefore you can communicate with each other as you put in your information. Using a Wiki as a way to communicate information is a good tool to use. People can also be invited into Wikis, which is a good way to keep informed about updates and everything. The creator of the Wiki can control who is invited and who is not. There is a discussion section so you can discuss amongst the people in the group about the topic and about things that are edited. You have to make sure though, that when people are posting things it is only one at a time. Posts may accidently get deleted if you do not. Other than that Wiki is a reliable way to communicate information for not only education, but business use as well.

Using Communication Tools to Present

There are many ways I can use digital communication tools to present my tool, Weebly, to the class. First of all, Weebly is a site that allows you to create blogs and websites in a user friendly way. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. The drag and drop features replace confusing HTML, which in turn makes creating a website or blog much easier. If i wanted to present my tool to the class there are different ways i could go about this. Power point presentation being one of them. Using a power point presentation, i could put all the information about my tool in slides and present it to the class that way. I could also show them the actual Weebly website and walk them through all the features. Yet another tool i could use would be Youtube. Youtube has Weebly demos and tutorials that you can go through that help you navigate through the site and show you how to create things. Using blogs can also help present my tool. I could write a blog about it and have my classmates comment on the blog with questions or comments. This is how i would present my tool using digital communication tools.

Ways Diigo Can be Used

Diigo can be used in many ways by many different people. Highschool students benefit a lot by using Diigo. Using Diigo we can do many things like keep all our bookmarked pages on the site and even highlight important things in the text. This is helpful, because i know sometimes i bookmark a page and forget why i did. The highlighting tool can help because it highlights the specific points you need.

Communicating Digitally

Everyone communicates digitally. People of all ages are connecting and communicating via internet. Nowadays it is possible to talk to people from other parts of the world which was never this easy before. Children are even being taught how to use the internet safely at ages as young as 5. 11 years ago, i would have been learning how to read, not how to use the internet. It is crazy how times have changed because children are so ahead of their time that they are becoming more advanced digitally than their parents. In my opinion communicating digitally is a good thing because it brings everyone together and it's just part of life because it is something my generation has grown up with.
