Quick Comm!

In today's age of instant gratification, there is some usefulness to our greed for expedience.

Within the world of business and in the classroom, we can utilize technology to update needs, concerns, change appointments, etc.

There is Twitter, Facebook, E-mail, texting, and automated phone messages....to name a handful.

In 2009-10 school year, my son was at the Chavez Learning Center. In late spring, a student mentioned seeing a stranger in the building with a gun. Luckily for us, all phones listed on the emergency contact list were sent a mass message via automation letting us know of the safety of ALL the students. I've never attempted to use this tool, but it's obviously one with benefits.

Almost all of these things can help with response time, product updates, etc. All have their place and time....tact notwithstanding. Being someone who's never owned a business, it's difficult to truly comment on what should/could/would be the appropriate methods to communicate....but it would seem impossible for these to not be utilized in some form or another.
