Week 7C2 Post

My experience connecting with another educator using Skype has been with my international students. I've used this free service to track down students who haven't participated and haven't replied to emails.

Other ways to use Skype is to connect with teachers as Skype Pals that are also using technology in their classrooms. Wouldn't it be fun to connect to other classrooms around the world for a little cultural exchange :) The possibilities of using this technology is endless. We are only restricted by our creativity.

When I taught in Japan the number of available speakers of English for my students to talk with was very small. Skype would have offered more opportunities for them to talk with speakers of English from around the world. Patricia

BJ, great point that we are only restricted by our creativity. Isn't that true of so many things.
