Virtual communication is complicated if an individual does not know how to use the tools. Familiarizing with software is not enough nowadays, but there are often tricks and little shortcuts that make the software more efficient. Virtual teams should get into the habit of sharing tips and tricks. Virtual teams should spend some time learning how collaboration tools work to get the best out of them. Online help centers should always be ready to help virtual teams. Virtual teams should rehearse before actual online meetings. Information sharing should be with everyone who has not used the tool before (Saafein & Shaykhian. 2014). Practice before the actual meeting ensures that the online experience for the first-time virtual attenders better. However, the more skilled an individual is in the setting, the easier it becomes to overcome the challenges.

Technology affordances refer to the diverse applications enabled by information communication and technology artifacts. It’s the potential that could be realized if a particular behavior is adopted to generate specific actions, especially in organizations. The affordances that have impacted my technology choice and use include Kindle and Shazam. Kindle is a miniature electronic device that is used for downloading and reading books online. It’s an extreme advancement of technology. It doesn’t generate heat like the laptop, has an automatic archive for books, integrates other social media like Facebook, and has an in-built Oxford dictionary.

Another situation that demonstrated ineffective communication in the video is the response given by the trainees. Communication is a two-way process that demands input from all parties involved. However, in the video, the healthcare trainees did not participate in the communication process by asking questions or clarification of the use of jargon terms (Creative Media, 2014). Their response to the message can be interpreted to indicate they lack any interest or do not understand the trainer. The end receiving information in a conversation should engage in responding to the speaker through verbal or non-verbal communication.

Requirements: 1500 – 2000

Length: Between 1500 and 2000 words

Structure: Include a title page and reference page in APA format. These do not count towards the minimum word count for this assignment. Your essay must include an introduction and a conclusion.

Answer preview

Another component that is necessary for effective communication is the message (Hargie, 2016). This includes any kind of written, verbal or non-verbal form of communication which people grant meaning to. This may apply to any of the five human senses. The message should be portrayed in a fashion that is both understandable and interpretable in the manner in which the sender intended. Since encoding of messages may be biased depending on who receives the information, messages should be conveyed in a way that effectively communicates the sender’s attitudes, opinions, prejudices and values so as to ensure proper interpretation of the intended message.

Channel

This refers to the medium being used to convey the intended message (Hargie, 2016). Information has been exchanged from time immemorial, using traditional means such as; smoke signals carrying a hidden code, messengers passing on written letters or conveying the message verbally and even communicating the message face to face. This has changed with the advent of the telephone and subsequently the internet due to the increase of mediums of communication. People can now send instant messages to one another, use video calls to communicate with each other as well as use platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to express their views to the public.

  1. Competency

    Design a personal plan to use social media to benefit the student both personally and professionally as well as minimize online mistakes and their impact.

    Student Success Criteria

    View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.

    Instructions

    Regardless of the career that you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that the action of securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
    Part 1:First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career. If this includes more than one career path, then focus on the one that you are most concerned with in the long term. This might include working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on in the future. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
    Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help to make it feel more tangible to you. This exercise of reflection should serve to remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The “why” behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the “how” of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough “why,” you will find the “how.”
    Part 2:For the second part of this assignment, make a list of the types of people that could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general in nature, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
    You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
    Part 3:Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
    Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it, and how you would use it for each of the three.

    • Platform #
    • Why?
    • How?
    • Platform #
    • Why?
    • How?
    • Platform #
    • Why?
    • How?

    Part 4:Finally, put all of this together and take action. The next part of this assignment is where you can make a big difference in your grade as well as in your real life pursuit of a goal!
    Reach out through the avenue of social media and make contact with three people that you do not currently know. Describe who you contacted and why (you do not need to give their specific name). Explain how you went about contacting them. Contacting someone that works in the same field as you or the same field you intend to work in should be relatively easy as long as you take a professional approach. Speculate over how this new contact might be helpful to you in the future. If you are not currently using social media, then find someone that you know that has used social media to make connections. Ask them to describe how social media has helped them to network and write about social media has helped them to network and make connections.

These skills will help me connect with students, especially the undocumented and underserved ones, and as such, help them overcome the challenges they are facing in their academics so they can have a chance at a successful personal and professional life. Students deal with numerous challenges, chief amongst them being academic pressurization. Academic pressurization is quickly becoming a matter of concern, not only within academic settings but also in the general society. It refers to the pressure felt by a student to succeed academically. This form of pressure can arise from various sources such as parents, educators, peers, or even students themselves. Most parents and educators operate under the assumption that succeeding in academia opens up a lot of opportunities for the future success of their children.

Essay Subject: Excessive student loan debts

there are two parts of the Essay:

1. Group Project Brainstorming Report: When meeting in your problem-solving group, you will be discussing in detail the problem. After clearly identifying, defining, and clarifying the problem, your group will create one solution that helps to solve the problem you described. There will probably not be a solution that is a 100% fix, and that’s okay. Your group can talk about the strengths and the weaknesses of the solution to meeting the problem. Remember, take good notes while meeting with your group.

All of the steps in the organizational format below should be explained in great detail, not just notes. Brainstorming is all about the details, so help me to understand that your group talked in depth about your subject by clearly explaining the group’s thoughts on each of the four categories below.

Organizational Format for Brainstorming Session

  1. Identify – clearly state the problem you are trying to solve.
  2. Define – thoroughly describe the problem. Why does the problem exist? What are the cause and effects? Are there drawbacks to solving this problem?
  3. Clarify – who is impacted by the problem? How are they impacted?
  4. Solve – offer one solution to satisfy the problem. Include the strengths and weaknesses of this solution as it relates to the problem you described.

The Brainstorming Report should be at least 1 full single-spaced page in length. Remember, brainstorming is all about the details, so this report should explain in detail the four steps your group used to find a solution.

2. Group Project Reaction Essay: Once your group meeting is complete, you will analyze your experience in a reaction essay by answering the questions below. The essay should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman font.

Reaction Essay Questions

  • Verbal/Nonverbal Analysis – Did each group member contribute to the problem-solving discussion? How did the group decide who would talk at a time? Did one group member talk more than others? Overall was the group effective with verbal communication? How did nonverbal messages contribute to the group process?
  • Listening Analysis– How effective were the group members at listening to one another? Was there a member who exhibited good or poor listening skills? Why are listening skills important when working in a group?
  • Conflict Analysis – Did your group experience any conflict or differing opinions? What type of conflict: pseudo conflict, simple conflict, or ego conflict? How did conflict impact the group problem-solving experience? If a conflict was not experienced, how did your group avoid conflict?
  • What insights did you gain about the interpersonal communication process through working in this problem-solving group?

Different people harbor different characteristics. This disparity is particularly evident when dealing with a significant number of people who are required to work together towards a definite goal. For example, some people may be introverted, impeding them from being active participators in any group discussion (Berger & Roloff, 2019). However, some individuals are extroverted, and these individuals take up an active role in group participation. Often, these individuals overshadow the more reserved group members, and if nothing is done about this, some of the group members may be left out in the discussion. Therefore, in a group setting where members’ insights are essential, there is a need to embrace the differences in people’s characteristics (Berger & Roloff, 2019). In addition,

After the patient is in a safe environment, the next step would be to provide the much-needed support that she needs (Neil, 2017). This support could come in the form of having conversations with the patient and showing her that having AIDS does not make her any less human and that she should not feel isolated because of the disease. In light of that, revealing to her that there are better alternatives to suicide would be the next step (Neil, 2017). The patient is educated on the harm suicide does to the victim’s family and that it is never the best choice to make. In addition to that, the family should be encouraged to communicate the same to her.

Using Motivational Interviewing to Difficult Inmates and Offenders

Sometimes it is a daunting task for a therapist to offer intervention to difficult inmates and offenders.   One thing that therapists need to understand is that difficult inmates and offenders need to be listened to.   Motivational interviewing can be very effective in helping difficult inmates and offenders to change their undesirable behaviors and adopt civil behaviors.   MI can be applied to express empathy to the difficult inmates and offenders. By utilizing this strategy, a therapist needs to show an understanding of the client’s struggles, issues, and barriers to improvement.    By doing this, a difficult inmate becomes more free and open with accurate disclosure since a therapist maintains a conversation without criticism and judgment.   It eventually offers an environment for the difficult inmate or offender to consider changing his or her behaviors.

Furthermore, Dr. Kerr informs the Smiths that vaccines are very safe, considering vaccines safety profiles are regularly updated via data sources such as Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) operated by the FDA and CDC. Dr. Kerr also shares a website the Smiths can use to access the safety information she alluded to and verify her assertion that vaccines do not cause autism or any developmental disorder. Despite this, Dr. Kerr informs the Smiths that certain children cannot get vaccinated due to genetic diseases that weaken the children’s immune systems or that they might be too young to get the vaccine. However, these children are protected due to herd immunity, which is attained because all other eligible children are vaccinated against VPIs. Dr. Kerr concludes her presentation to the Smiths by pointing out that most states in the country require children to be vaccinated to enroll in school. Even though the Smiths listened to Dr. Kerr’s arguments in support of vaccination and confirmed they understood the information she was sharing, they still expressed their wish that Ana should not be vaccinated.
