Sharing Information Through Jing and Skype
A screencast would be very helpful in teaching students new skills. I think it might be useful in Health Fitness because we could make a screencast about various health topics and they could be shown in the gym or in the classrooms. Since we teach all the students in the school, this would be a good way to get information to all the students without having to repeat the same thing a million times. This would also be helpful to students that might have been absent. They could use a screencast that the teacher created to access any missed information.
There are so many different ways to use Skype in the classroom. Some ideas that really sounded good to me were: Students can work on a project with students in another city, your class can speak to an author or museum curator in another city or state instead of just reading about their information, students in a foreign language class can speak with native speakers of that language in another county and so much more!
I have used Skype to video conference with my family in New York and Michigan. It is such a great way to :be there: and experience what they are experiencing without actually being there. We got to be at my niece's 2nd birthday party even though they were in NY and we were in Houston!!!
