Skype

In my Emerging Technologies class we learned how to use Skype. It is quite easy and fun to use. I wish more of my family members and friends had Skype accounts. The class brainstormed some ways Skype could be used in the classroom: interviews, communicating with parents or sick students, and video pals. Any other ideas on how Skype can be used to help students learn?

Webspiration

Webspiration is the on-line version of Inspiration. Unlike Inspiration, more than one person can add to the graphic organizer. Another student and I worked on a graphic organizer using Webspiration containing information about ourselves. I enjoyed using this program and can see myself using this program in the future. It would be a good tool to use to collorate with other teachers or have students use them to brainstorm ideas or orgainze what they have learned.
