Tool # 9 Jing / Skype

Introducing myself to Jing and Skype was so interesting! There is some really cool stuff out there.
As far as Jing is concerned...I can see it being used in the classroom for visually enhanced directions for "how to" projects. It would be useful in student centers, possibly, for individual learning and assessment and well as whole group. Could be a little more involved in making ones own instructional video as opposed to finding one on UTube, but certainly could be done if time permits.

Skype could be a blast! I will definitely pursue this on a personal level? Would like to find out if we can use this "within" the school building to have conferences with other teachers if we have an inquiry, for example? How cool is that? And....talk about having the world at your fingertips. It gives new meaning to "PenPal". WebPals!

Not sure where freecam crosses the paycam line though. With a little more research and playing on it for familiarity sake with friends on the west coast and with relatives on trips, this could be great.

On the # 10. It just keeps getting better!
