Um, does it mean talking on the phone or video calls?
Exactly, Student_1! Verbal communication involves any spoken interaction, like phone calls and video calls. It's often direct and allows for immediate feedback. Now, Student_2, could you explain written communication?

Now, let's look at digital communication tools. Who can name a tool we use to send messages quickly?

Is it that we can talk to anyone, anywhere?
