Reflection of Skype

I skyped with my brother who is in Eastern Oregon. We just talked for a second. It was cool to see him and hear him as opposed to just typing to him over facebook. It made the experience feel more personal and I liked that. This tool would be great for students to use if they were working on group projects and they aren't able to get together they can skype to each other and it's almost like they are in the same room together. Also if students have questions about their homework they can skype with each other to talk about it, or they can even skype with their teacher. The teacher can show examples over the internet and it is a lot easier to explain information and understand information when you can see and hear it. As a teacher you can also skype with your fellow teachers about ideas in the classroom about discipline, or just interesting topics to teach.
