Communication

I feel as though the communication is one of the competencies that I am the most experienced with and have the most fluency in. Communicating with people is something that I have done since birth, and continue to do to this day. We communicate with others to show how we think and feel, and express our opinions. Communication relates to everything we do in life.
One example of Communication through my academic career would be my experience with tutoring sixth graders. I was working with a small group of boys who had different learning disabilities. They were taken out of their class room and placed into a smaller room with me. They struggled with math because the pace of the class was just too fast for them, so it was all on me to find ways to communicate with them so that they would understand the concepts. I took the approach by interacting with them in a way that we were going in this together, learning this new information as one. It was simply me teaching them the material and having them do a worksheet that I would look over and tell them what they got right or wrong. We had conversations about what they were learning, we talked about ways we could help each other remember how certain problems were solved or how some things could be remembered. There understanding improved greatly, and I feel like the way I was communicating with them was what made all of the difference.
A written example of communication would have to simply be the text book I used in my Comm101 class. I do not have the text books name at hand right now, but I will post in my later blog about what I got from reading everyone else’s with the details. This book was such a great tool to knowing and understanding the different ways we communicate. We can communicate so fast these days, such as shooting one another emails that we can receive instantly, or even faster through instant messaging or text messages to cell phones. There is also a big portion in the book about non-verbal communication, and how powerful that is.
A non written example can be found everywhere you go. As a person lives their daily life, they can observe the communication between people at their job, school, home, store, any and every where. People exchange messages differently to others, and there are so many tools used to help communicate.
Sorry this blog is short, but I am kind of on the run!!
