Student Emails

We do have to deal with a lot more email in our professional roles these days as teachers. I am a firm believer however in encouraging students to interact with me in a time that suits their learning and is appropriate to their own schedules. To be honest, it suits me as a teacher to clear an issue up, help with homework or assignments etc. as soon as I can and whilst the student is motivated than to potentially wait until the next day for an opportunity to interact regarding their learning. Feedback is made more timely, personalised and reinforcement of learning can happen as needed and 'just in time'. Over the past five years I have not been inundated by student or parent emails, so digital communication has not had a huge impact on my time - in fact it may indeed SAVE me time the following day...something to consider ;)
