Thing 15: Things like Skype

I had never used Skype before today, but many of my friends use it on a daily basis. My sister lives in Weatherford, TX, so I used Skype to talk to her today. It was really cool, much better than I expected it to be. I explored to Skype website and found lots of interesting things. You can conference call, share pictures, and send files all through Skype. Skype would be an awesome resource for students to have when they need help with homework. As a teacher, you could tell your students that you will be logged into Skype for one hour a night for them to ask you questions about homework. You could also use Skype to have conferences with parents who might be out of town or unavailable to make it to the school.
