Skype

Skype has an unlimited amount of uses in the classroom. I am currently taking a WV Learns class about Virtual Field Trips so immediately using Skype for this comes to mind. In the classroom students can visit a zoo and then Skype in with Zookeepers to learn more about what they do. There are also several websites that you can set up a meeting and Skype with an author. I also have read in blogs where classroom around the world connect with one another and collaborate on a project. I am looking forward to using Skype in my VFT course.
