The ease of WhatsApp and it’s common day-to-day use in personal communications is its ultimate downfall for use within the workplace, particularly in schools. The use of WhatsApp in schools, however, is not often internally managed by the organisation themselves.
Having a secure and integrated internal communication tool, such as Google Hangouts Chat, is great for driving productivity and accountability for the way we communicate with each other. We at 9ine are constantly reminded to steer away from the pitfalls of “post-boxing” - the practice of sitting happy on an email you have sent, content with not having a reply from the other end because your job here is done. Ostensibly, having a communication tool like WhatsApp which allows you to exchange information quickly and efficiently between school departments in a less bureaucratic way than email is a great idea. It’s because WhatsApp is easy to operate, informal and is everyone’s familiar tool for digital conversations that it is increasingly popular within schools for internal communications. These apps have propelled communication into real time and revolutionised the ease of conversing without having to make a phone call (which in itself is a problem but hey, who doesn’t like an emoji 😀).
The rise of the smartphone and omnipresence of mobile networks facilitates instant messaging services like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat.
