Yesterday we skyped with another 6th grade class in MO. Skype is a type of video chatting tool that I pretty much use every day. Many schools everyday use Skype as a web 2.0 tool. I learned a lot about MO yesterday just from the one call. I think that Skype is can be very helpful in school. You can learn about where and who you are Skyping with but you can also just have fun with it and just talk and socialize.
Yesterday the Skype call went really well. The only big problem was when we last the call and every once in a while the call would get either REALLY blurry or we wouldn’t be able to hear the class. We lost the call right in the middle of the session. It was mainly because of Internet problems. If you have your Internet totally hooked up, whenever you Skype it should always work.
