Stars: Skype Education Site! What an awesome place for us to find resources for our classroom! The collaborative element, the ability to connect with real experts... All of this speaks to authentic learning experiences for our students. Rather than consulting a text book or a website, being able to talk to an expert live really allows students to directly interact with a primary source
I like the frank discussion of the issues associated with the tool. Limitations are just as important as the potential for us to understand when and how to use skype and it really reinforced the idea that the task, not the tool comes first. Understanding the limitations of a tool helps us find the tool that fits well in our school environment for our task.
Wish: More interaction perhaps?What might have been really awesome is to skype with someone in class. Show us something authentic rather than videos of it. That really the only thing I wished for.
