Another great Tech Tool I discovered is Skype! I would have never thought I would be talking about using skype as a resource for teachers to use in their classroom! Anyways, Skype is an awesome resource to use in the classroom! First, its FREE and is available on virtually any network. skyoe in the classroom can be used in a lot more ways then one.. Skype in the classroom can be used go on virtual field trips across the globe! The field trips are posted on the website. They list the age group the virtual field trip is suitable for, the country the trip will be in , the language spoken, the date and time the field trip will take place, and how many classrooms are currently signed up! This site also allows your classroom to interact with guest speakers! You can either tune in to view a guest speaker or look them up! As a teacher you can also become a guest speaker though skype. You can also play "mystery skype". This is a cool future on the site that lets you and your classroom randomly chat with other classrooms weather it be next door or across the world! Using this in my own classroom when I become a teacher in the future would definitely be a must. I would always try to find things relating to lesson plans. Skype in the classroom is an awesome tech tool and I would recommend it to any teacher looking for something new and different to try out in their classroom.
