- W26303363 abstract "Many of our universities and colleges know something about uses of electronic mail that we public school administrators have not caught on to, namely that e-mail is a powerful, dynamic medium that can transform manner in which people interact, especially in educational settings. The technological jump that higher education has on us became apparent to me once I began enrolling in courses at a nearby school of education. Everyone in university community (or nearly so) was linked online to everyone else: students, professors, administrators and so forth. Today, expectation is that once you become a part of university community you will have capacity to communicate via e-mail as required. Whether it involves individual feedback from professors, group projects at classroom level or memos sent out institution-wide, electronic mail is integrating even largest universities by adding another layer of communication and bringing people together in unique ways. If institutions of higher education have integrated this new technology into fabric of their respective communities and done it so successfully, one question to ask is are we at primary and secondary levels lagging so far behind? The purpose here is not to answer why in haven't we been as successful as our higher education colleagues in utilizing this new technology, but rather to answer in how can we begin to take advantage of electronic mail in new and important ways. Despite clear technological disparities, we need to look more closely at positive effects electronic mail is having on university community and begin to incorporate more useful and applicable elements for ourselves. The Project's Modest Goals Inspired by example, Salem High School's e-mail project began in September 1997 with a modest and straightforward aim: to create an electronic mailing list of as many parents as possible so that school's administrators could communicate with them on a regular basis and keep them informed of school-related news and information. If we could replicate at high school, even to a small extent, degree of interconnectedness that electronic mail has brought to university community, then our goal would be reached. The purpose, however, was not to replace traditional methods of communication, but to supplement them with an additional medium. The e-mail project has been in place long enough now that some preliminary observations can be made about its successes. First, we found e-mail to be a speedy, informal, cost-effective way to ensure that parents obtain information they might not have received through more traditional channels. For example, students may not bring notices home or parents may not receive mail from children who intercept it in transit. What better way to supplement letter sent home than to deliver it via electronic mail as well? Another factor is high cost of printing and postage that precluded communicating with parents as periodically as we would have liked. Because electronic mail is a low-cost alternative, we never thought twice about sending out short memos on relevant topics. Lastly, in an age of quick, instantaneous sound bite, electronic mail transforms traditional memo into an informal correspondence that need not be any longer than just a few sentences or a short paragraph. Mail sent electronically is quick to compose, easy to send and even faster to read. A second observation is that e-mail ties into larger aims of both promoting positive public relations and increasing our responsiveness to community. Salem's general e-mail list includes not just parents but central office personnel and other interested community members who want to keep abreast of events. Being an e-mail subscriber connects people to school in new and exciting ways. Thus far, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive because subscribers feel as though they are better informed and are the first to know! …" @default.
