Tool #9 - Sharing Information . . .

1. Teachers and students can use Jing to develop videos of previously taught skills, i.e. math and science to enhance information and explanations of concepts that students are having difficulty with. As I'm learning these websites, I appreciated Alfredo's Jing to explain How to include a YOUTUBE video into your blog. Some teachers need help, too!

2. Teachers and students can actively engage in cyberspace using Skype. We can communicate with authors and visit sites unknown to students with virtual field trips. It will also be useful for students to communicate with one another about their learning. As a mentor to one of our fourth grade students at Hollibrook, Karen J. suggested we use Skype to communicate with another SBISD elementary school but we didn't have the time or the hardware to begin the project. I'm hoping that we can implement this in our classroom at the beginning of the school year.
