Tool 9 Sharing Information through Jing & Skype

Jing is a free program that will allow the user to add visuals to online converstions. Students will be able to express what they have learned and add a picture to go with their topic. They will be able to converse with each other on what they have have read and researched. Also, they will be able to give opinions on a book in language arts or impressions on people studied in social studies.

Skype allows you to chat online for free with skype-to-skype calls and have a video conference if you have a camera. Teachers could use this to video students sharing or presenting to share with a parent. Teacher could give an group assignment and groups could respond via skype video. I think they would have fun doing this assignment
