Skype


I enjoyed the Skype experience. I thought it was neat to be able to communicate with another classroom while we were not even close. Skype can be used in several ways in the classroom. Some of the way I might use it would be : Invite a guest lecturer from leading educators and experts from anywhere in the world, explore foreign cultures first hand with classroom to classroom video conferencing, Broadcast a performance or project to parents and families unable to make it to school. Students enjoy guest lectures. It is always fun to have someone new to listen to in the classroom. Since showing children other cultures is in many CSOs now, this would be a neat and fun way for children to experience other cultures. Often times a student’s parents works away from home and cannot attend things at school. It would be nice for them to get to experience the same things the other parents do.
