Dear Professor Jillian Hartman and Joshua Sugata:
I loved Jillian's comment about how GCU stresses that we and our students need to become effective communicators. That is really a summary of a rather busy and stressful week I had. As a writer and English literature teacher, I also spend a lot of time in English Composition teaching essay writing. Yet, if we do not listen to our students and we do not read and communicate, what are we really modeling? In our personal and private relationships at home and with friends, what is more important than basic communication? I taught two courses of Speech 101 to college science students in Taipei one summer, and I think teaching that course taught me a lot about body language and the value of communication, including professional and business communications. Thanks!

Dear Jillian & Josh,
Thank you very much for sharing the tips and suggestions. I greatly appreciated your suggestion regarding setting small technology goals. As a "Digital Immigrant" I tend to be intimidated by the vast nature of new technology and/or consider that my "tried and true" ways are working for me, so why change? Taking "baby steps" and experiencing the benefits pertaining to efficiency and improvement communication are two key takeaways!
Thank you for your time!
All the Best,
Matt Dauchert
Rachel,
Thank you for your feedback. I love the practical and universal application of your example. This is a powerful example of how GCU stresses concepts that are not only important while in school, but can help students be successful around the world!
Matt,
Thank you as well. I too can be guilty of not wanting to apply something new since it feels daunting at first. However, the baby steps allow for a less stressful application of new methods.
