The Medium is the Message

The channel I choose to use for my communication is mostly snap chat. Most of the people I text are friends and people I'm not able to see on a daily basis. Even if I do see them on a daily basis I still text them. I recently noticed  that it happens to be one of my biggest distractions. I spend most of my time on social media sites, like snapchat, and instagram so maybe those being my channel for communication is not the best to communicate from. Some better places to communicate from and that I might want to try out would probably be Imessage and my school email. Staying communicated with people throughout high school has turned out to be more and more important as the years go on. It comes in handy when you miss a day of school, or when you happen to miss out on the lecture given that day and didn't quite catch what the homework was, this is spoken from experience. There is also a lot more group projects that have been taking place in my classes now, far more than I ever did my freshman and sophomore year so staying connected with classmates is so beneficial. Getting in touch with teachers is also good when it is necessary, whether it be because you need to set up a meeting to tutor, discuss something you may not have understood, or if you need to talk to them about your grade in the class. The point is staying communicated and connected which ever way is so beneficial in your day to day life.
