Standard Six | Telecommunications and Information Access

**Staying Connected** E-mail provides a way for teachers to maintain communication to share information and plan with other teachers. The following artifact displays an e-mail thread between my two cooperating teachers and me during my student teaching placement. I was able to e-mail them my lesson plan and PowerPoint for their critique and approval.

There are many online resources available to teachers and students to make collaboration and instant feedback even easier. The e-mails reflect the importance of telecommunications and lesson/unit plans. Through e-mail, I was able to send my cooperating teachers the work that I had done on my personal laptop so they could consider my lesson and approach to teaching. The opportunity to have such feedback is essential to learn and grow as an educator.
