Why would you communicate concisely,
when you can
send
as many messages
as possible
as you gather your thoughts
so others have to hear that ping
from Slack
or teams
or gchat
over and over again.

The End.

Just turn notification sounds off and let people finish their thoughts.

Literally this. I mute my notifications and tell people to @ me if it’s urgent. Even in direct DMs.

Eh, I go either way. If I’m rushing between meetings and deliverables with barely any time to think. I might fire off a quick one to respond to a high priority item before quickly realizing it needs more context. That’s where messages 2-4 come in.

That said, I do know people who treat this as the norm.

So, I think we should cut people some slack. We’re all just treading water the best we can.

My wife does this while I’m driving and I have to keep dismissing the texts in order to see the GPS. I like to send back at least 20 or 30 single word messages to get the point across. Doesn’t make a difference though.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions.
