Skype in the Classroom

WEBSITE: http://www.teachertube.com Skypes easeofuse and video conferencing capability make it a hugely beneficial tool in helping students connect with others outside of the classroom walls. The greatest benefits for classroom use is that teachers can quickly and easily invite guests from all over the world to speak to their students. Additionally social studies and foreign language teachers can use Skype to connect with classes in other countries to share experiences in their native language and language arts teachers with the help of the school librarian can connect with the authors to share and read literature. A science teacher from another school or university could use Skypes video and audio resources connections to demonstrate the scientific process through various lab experiments. A zoologist could share the habitats of different animals while a doctor could discuss the impotents of sustaining a healthy lifestyle.
