<div name="sig_830103b89c" style="margin:2em 0pt">If a news worthy school item is emailed, tweeted, published online and pinned to a notice board or coffee machine then this is just promoting the idea. Its a marketing death wish to pick one medium and ignore the rest. If you want attention, stick a lolly to it. If you were a government dept you could add a telephone number, advisory desk service, TV and radio. </div>
<div name="sig_830103b89c" style="margin:2em 0pt">Now it involves some kind of contractual obligation and is not time critical then it can go into my pigeon hole. If it is really serious or important, tell me in person and give it to me in writing.</div>

If you want to get it out there, you need broad coverage using a range of different media. Same way that you get the ABC gets information out. On websites, email alerts, twitter posts, handouts even Facebook and Google+. Ultimately, let the user decide and don't fuss about the medium.<div>

I'm thinking that we are moving into an era of communications overload. Given electronic communication is now deeply entrenched in our schools (many schools now having a 1:1 program in place, and plenty of students now carry smart phones with unfiltered Internet), how are others dealing with this? While it is tempting to consider just school communications, I think that this needs to discuss personal communications habits as well. <br>
<br>Any pointers to resources on this would also be useful.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br clear="all">Victor Rajewski<br>eServices Manager<br>John Monash Science School<br><a href="tel:%2B61%203%209902%209828" value="+61399029828" target="_blank">+61 3 9902 9828</a><br>
