Skype
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by gveit on 12-11-2008
I just wanted to share…since our beginning discussion about what we will be talking about this year in WC! I went home and started experiementing with Skype, and it is great! My youngest brother is at college and my family and I have been keeping in touch with him through Skype. It is almost like he is right in the room and carrying on a conversation with me. So much better than video chatting or a phone conversation, with Skype you can do both, talk and see the person both at the same time.

My son is currently using Skype to stay in touch with a friend attending grad school in the Netherlands. He also feels it is better than phone conversations due to the “face to face” contact. When I taught 2nd grade, my class was involved in an on-line learning project. We shared information online with other schools in different parts of the world. As I watch my son talk to his friend, I thought how cool it would have been if my students could have actually met the students we were working with on the project. Live time would have been so much better than emails and photos!
