<div>Victor,</div>
<div>I personally do things like adding appointments from my outlook to the email I send from our LMS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However depending on the day students may get 5 to 10 school emails a day. Of course we are increasing this as we get use to the tablets in the school.</div>

<div>Thanks Andrew,

<div>Do you find that your students read, absorb, and act on such email? If so, what sort of strategies or techniques have you used to make this so? How many emails might a student typically receive from the school (be it administration, bulk, or classroom
teacher) each day?</div>

<div>All Correspondence with students task place via the school maintained email. This is so that we follow our electronic communications policy. </div>
<div>It also means that our lms can send correspondence via one source.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This email can be put on any device that handles a exchange account and we actually set our student iPads up with this account.</div>

<div>Thanks Roland; this is one approach that we are considering. However, I'm interested in two things:
<div>
<ul>
<li>If any schools have developed explicit policies, strategies or techniques around communication, and what these look like, and
</li><li>If this 'broad spectrum' approach actually makes the problem (of information overload) worse.</li></ul>

If you want to get it out there, you need broad coverage using a range of different media. Same way that you get the ABC gets information out. On websites, email alerts, twitter posts, handouts even Facebook and Google+. Ultimately, let the user decide and
don't fuss about the medium.

<div>Whilst I love web hosted files and electronic information boards, I am still like glancing at retro A4 notices that have been printed and pinned to notice boards as I dash off to my first class. Each to his own I guess.<br>

<div>Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I've been noticing over the past few years that many emails between students, teachers and parents aren't being read or acted on. I'm thinking that we are moving into an era of communications overload. Given electronic communication is now deeply entrenched
in our schools (many schools now having a 1:1 program in place, and plenty of students now carry smart phones with unfiltered Internet), how are others dealing with this? While it is tempting to consider just school communications, I think that this needs
to discuss personal communications habits as well. <br>
<br>
Any pointers to resources on this would also be useful.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
