Skype
I just finished my first Skype experience. It was extremely easy to create an account and Skype. I didn't really know who to Skype with, so my husband created an account. We had a conversation on the internet (even though we were in the same house). I think this would be great to use to communicate with people who I do not see often. It's definitely an awesome tool. I can't believe that it's free! It would be fun if students could use this to communicate with authors. I don't have many other ideas yet about how to use this in the classroom, but I love the idea of using it to talk with friends and family. The language arts teachers just received tablets, and I used this to Skype. It's perfect because it has a built-in webcam and mic.

Good job using your tablet for that!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have many more successes with Skype. I think it would be fun to pull you and the other Junior high teachers in for just a few minutes using skype to reinforce review sections. They often claim not to have learned things that they definitely learned from you guys. :)
