Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
It is very interesting how all the different generations prefer to communicate differently. I will definitely use this information when communicating with students and parents.
Sometimes it's tough to communicate effectively with different generations. So this was useful to show me which types of communication generations prefer and what makes people feel respected.
I have learned the importance of understanding each generational difference and being able to effectively communicate with each of them to increase my performance each day.
I learned about different ideas of work fulfillment and promotion. I was aware of the communication preferences of different generations, but now I know more about how to effectively structure their workplace.
I'm not a 'texter' because tone can be misconstrued. However, for other generations, that's the best way to reach them so I need to leave my personal feelings out of it.
I learned what effective communication is with different generations and how to use it.
I have learned that understanding generational communication preferences is crucial for effectively connecting with today’s students.
Understanding a student's preferred communication style and their generational background is always beneficial.
Different generations typically have different preferences in the method that they are communicated with. Quite a few of the generations like being communicated with via text or email versus a traditional phone call.
Each student no matter their generation has a preferred method of communication. When referring to admissions we should work with the student through all communication outlets to best fit the student.
commit to learn about the students by asking questions. you will learn about the students and be able to develop ways to help them learn in their styles.
Outside of Boomers, technology can really be used to our advantage in communication. Most work-related communication will need to be done during work hours, but you can expect quick responses.
I learned that each generation prefer a different way to communicate so we cannot just use only one way to contact every student.
It is important to take the time to learn how each student prefers to communicate. This helps students feel better understood and more likely to respond.
This is great - I have enjoyed learning different communication styles for each generation, it is always good to be flexible and understand that not everyone communicates the same way.
Communication preferences vary by generation and we need to be flexible in our communication methods
Very helpful to know which communication mechanisms are best to reach each generation!
