Skype

As I said earlier, Skype is an internet tool I use often. It allows me to make calls anywhere in the world for free or, in my case, a small fee for the added benefit of a designated Oregon phone number.

Skype can be used in my classroom as a tool that brings the outside world within our isolated four walls. It would provide a great opportunity to communicate with others in distant parts of the world. For example, the video chat feature could allow my students to not only speak to others abroad, but also see and experience their cultures and ideas.

This is a tool I am very familiar with and I love how easy it is to use.
