Using the Web Cam to Skype
Throughout this week, Carrie and I had sent each other e-mails about linking up on Saturday to Skype. I let Carrie pick the time on Saturday to link up because I knew that she had a three year old and finding the quite time to Skype would need the help from others in her family. We did our Skype on the web cam and we talked about references and resources for our final unit plan. We both were not sure if we were having a final exam in this class. We talked about how Skype would be a great tool for teacher conferences with parents who may not be able to come to the school. I really liked doing Skype this week. I plan to get my military friends who live far away to download Skype.

Skype is awesome. If teachers have that creative mind you can come up with all kinds of things to do with Skype. One that I found on the internet was a classroom where they read a book and then had a live web Skype with the author and then wrote about their experience with the technology. I thought it was pretty neat. Another one I found was one school got together with another teacher in the same school and "Skyped" with that class for an assignment. I thought it was pretty neat!!
