Talk:User-Generated Content in Education/Skype

Mike M - I have begun to use skype as a tool to speak with future students all over the United States.

Jamie R - I never thought of using Skype as a way to talk to people all over the world. What a great way to do 21st century "pen pals."

Tiffany S. - I had no clue there were resources like virtual field trips in Skype. One of the ways that I have used skype in the classroom (just for fun) is to allow the kids to speak with our exchange student from last year, who is from Italy. I really liked all the educational advantages that you guys put in.

Amanda R. I contributed to the section about the educational advantages of Skype.

Jessica S- Kim, I found the educational advantages you added to this page to be very useful. I do believe this should be incorporated more often into the classroom setting. Great job!

I liked the educational advantages of Skype with suggestions on how to use it in the classroom. DarenG

Kim S.- I contributed a couple of the educational advantages we added for using skype. I placed our information in a one page, APA formatted paper. I also submitted it in the dropbox. Lastly I added our information to the skype wiki page.64.134.68.172 (discuss) 23:20, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Becky G - Thanks for your comments about the educational advantages of using SKYPE. I like the idea of speaker visits (author visits), which is something I could use in my own classroom. I also can see that perhaps I could go to a location and give my students a virtual field trip through the SKYPE tool. I possibly could hold office hours on SKYPE also. Thanks for your work!

Andrew W. - You listed some practical ideas for using Skype. I'm hoping to use Skype to do a classroom video conference with another class across the ocean. Our students have been pen pals, and I thought it would be fun to have an end-of-year Skype conference. Our time zones are close enough that it could work during the school day - morning for us and afternoon for them. Thanks for your research! ∼∼∼∼

AZ-This book is very resourceful, and useful. Excellent Job!

SRainey - As someone who has never used Skype, I appreciated the "how to" section.
