Thing #3: Skype
Skype extends the classroom. Students can talk to other classrooms, professionals, fellow students, experts, professors, other teachers, etc using this type of internet communication method. The possibilities are endless and encouraging. Teachers can also communicate with other teachers for planning or observation purposes.

In summer school this year we were very successful in getting professors from UT to talk with our students....Skyping has opened up a whole new world for bringing in experts!
ReplyDeleteThat's great!! Skype is an amazing resource. I talked to my doctor about it and he wants to visit the classroom in person or by Skype. I have learned that it never hurts to ask. Video conferencing makes the classroom more accessible to experts that have busy schedules. Now I just need to get it all set up.
