Tool # 9 Using Jing and Skype

I have not used Jing or Skype in the classroom before, but capturing an image, map, or video, using Jing, would certainly add clarity and understanding to messages and assignments. The video tutorial was very helpful, with a simulated practice session. Skype can be used for students to chat with other students from different areas, or teachers with teachers, or teachers with students. Skype could also be a more economical way to invite guest speakers into our school or classroom. Skype Mobile is offered for certain Verizon phones, but I'm not sure about this feature on Apple mobiles. I am looking forward to exploring this option and inviting members to Skype with in a virtual reality classroom!
