ONLINE COMMUNICATION AS ONE MORE ALTERNATIVE TO TEACHERPARENT COMMUNICATION IN ALBANIAN EDUCATION

Nowadays, information and communication technology facilitates communication and enables us to reach many people in a very short time. Online communication is a new form of communication in Albania. Although there is a fairly rapid increase in the number of Internet users, in schools this form has not found a great use. Very few schools in the country have their own websites, even though all schools are equipped with computer labs and Internet connection. Albanian schools are attempting to offer different forms of communication, amongst which online communication, online presentations through the web pages of different schools, newsletter etc. But, nevertheless are very little compared to the opportunity and convenience that these forms offer. In a study conducted with teachers and parents of students in elementary education in the district of Elbasan, evaluations of teachers and parents about this form of communication and frequency of its realization were taken. A main target was also the identification of problems that hinder this form of communication. It is noted that in relation to other forms of communication, online communication is less desirable and less realized by teachers and parents.
