COMMUNICATION 

Communication is the process of sharing our ideas, thoughts, and feelings with other people and having those ideas, thoughts, and feelings understood by the people we are talking with. When we communicate we speak, listen, and observe. Communication is the process of transmitting information and understanding. It is the transference of meaning between individuals and the means of reaching, understanding and influencing others. Skill to communicate depends on the capacity of an individual to convey ideas and feelings to another to evolve a desired response. In management, communication is a mixture of personal attributes and organizational aspects. Communication requires a sender, a message, a medium and a recipient, although the receiver does not have to be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver understands the sender's message. Communicating with others involves three primary steps: Thought: First, information exists in the mind of the sender. This can be a concept, idea, information, or feeling. Encoding: Next, a message is sent to a receiver in words or other symbols. Decoding: Lastly, the receiver translates the words or symbols into a concept or information that a person can understand. There are a variety of verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. These include body language, eye contact, sign language, haptic communication, and chronemics. Other examples are media convtent such as pictures, graphics, sound, and writing. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities also defines the communication to include the display of text, Braille, tactile communication, large print, accessible multimedia, as well as written and plain language, human-reader, augmentative and alternative modes, means and formats of communication, including accessible information and communication technology. Feedback is a critical component of effective communication.

Notes for teachers

Effective communication is one of the most important life skills. teachers can take up the programs which will improve communicative skills of the students. even more teacher should make students aware of the new technologies like Geographic information system(GIS) and Global positioning system (GPS) and their impact on human life. activities can be undertaken to show the applicability of GIS & GPS through various devices.

Activities

1. Activity No #1 A drama which illustrates the conversation between two dumb characters.

this activity requires two pupil participating as dumb characters having the whole class in audience in the supervision of the teacher.

1. Activity No #2 Ask students to collect the interactive information about the modes of communication.

Key Idea #2

Geographic Information System (GIS)

Learning objectives

1. To understand meaning of Geographic information system

1. to understand the applicability of Geographic information system

Notes for teachers

can explain the importance of GIS in our daily life how the whether forecast helps us,(for example) or finding of routes through GPS. since every smartphone is equipped with GPS systems, teacher can use the same for the classroom presentation or ask students to perform any activity which involves the GPS technology.

Activities

1. Activity No #1 collecting the satellite picture of earth and the whether forecast reports from newspapers.
2. Activity No #2 conducting an activity to find the route to a nearby place from school using mobile GPS by the students.

Key Idea #3

Remote sensing technologies

Remote sensing technology is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on site observation.
