Thing #19 Skype

The ways to use Skype in the classroom are endless. Teachers may use it at trainings to share ideas with other teachers. Principals can have chats with teachers over summer break. The best way for students to use Skype is by talking to other students in other counties in the states, students in other states, and even chat with students in other countries. The students would have the opportunity to ask students from other places anything they are curious about. Skype would be a great learning tool if used correctly. This is another tool that teachers would need to monitor carefully however, as many students are too forthcoming with  information over the Internet.
