I used skype for the first time tonight. Every time I had used it before it was because someone else had it set up and I just joined in on the conversation on their computer. It was great to finally get my own account set up. It is a great way to stay connected with family and friends, or even colleagues. It is like chat taken to a whole new level!
How might you use Skype in the classroom with your students?
ReplyDeleteSkype could be used in the classroom as a way for students to reach out beyond the walls of the school. If funds are limited for field trips it could be used to bring experts into the classroom via video/chat. It could also be used as a tool to communicate with students who need extra help with homework or projects.
