What is all the Hype about Skype?
I’ll never forget walking into my son’s kindergarten classroom last year and they were using Skype to visit with someone from another country. They were learning to communicate using a different language. It excited me that my son’s teacher, Mrs. Bryan from Inman Elementary School, had the vision to use technology to create opportunities for our kids to learn outside of the classroom walls! Just the other day, I witnessed a colleague and friend of mine, Kevin Honeycutt, using Skype to communicate with national experts and students involved in a project-based learning opportunity. No travel, less time and money, and authentic, engaging learning opportunities for all!
Skype is such a valuable tool to help us bring experts into our classrooms and allow our students to communicate and learn with others located in other states and countries! Recently, the Teaching Degree website shared 50 Awesome Ways to Use Skype. Check it out! Make learning come alive in your classroom!
