Tool #9 Skyping Down the Yellow Brick Road

For your Tool #9 Assignment:


1. Discuss how the screencast could help your students and how you might have students use Jing.
     Students could use Jing to access and save entire pages of information without having to copy or print them. I can see several activities with social studies and geography, and learning mapping skills.

2. Discuss how you might use Skype with your students and share across the district, the state, the nation, or the world! I have friends in Israel and we use Skype. But because of the time difference, finding a class willing to have a "Skype pen-pal" relationship is not feasible. BUT across the country would be fun! It would just like that commercial with the kids having a staring contest in the US and Japan... but I doubt the time difference would make it a reality.
