Skype is a new concept that could open up many new doors for all learners. I'm thinking in particular, those students who come with a limited amount of background experiences. Or, those kids who thrive to know more about a topic such as NASA. This would allow for several learners to either grasp basic knowledge on a specific topic, or to persue subjects that are of particular interest. When looking through the links, I found where I could have my second grade class hook up with a zoologist at the San Diego Zoo to learn more about birds. This would be such a fascinating video conference!
My goal is to find a camera and hook it up and give it a try. I really want to use this with my class this next year!
