TOOL #9

Skype is a wonderful tool for face to face communication around the globe. I have been using it for a while to communicate with my relatives in Mexico and Spain, and friends in other countries. Being able to see them several times a week still amazes me. I could easily see using Skype in the classroom, since my students corresponds with a class in Punta del Este, Uruuay. I could use Jing to introduce my students to new software without having to keep the attention of an entire group. Just having them watch the video on their own screens will help them learn the programs faster.
