Okay so not my best picture, there is a good reason to turn off the camera at times. My daughter and I both have new computers and we are still playing with our settings so setting up skype on the new computers and making sure the cameras and mics work was good for both of us.
Skype has a lot of potential for classrooms. Skype is a great way for classes to communicate with experts in different fields. Skype could also be used to keep traveling students updated on classwork and traveling students to share their tri. Why not have a student in class keep the traveling student updated or how about homebound and students sick at home. Skype field trips could be used for a lot of different activities from geography, history, and social studies. We could connect with community members and get updates on local issues and activities, students could discuss a variety of topics on local politics. Skype in with our political leaders, business leaders, or colleges to let students get actively involved, without leaving the classroom.
