1. I can see how Jing would be helpful in a Kindergarten classroom to teach the kids a set of directions or procedures for a work station or a "how -to" to log into some computer activities instead of always having to ask me or ask other students. This tool is ideal for recording lessons and making them accessible to students for later review. I cannot wait to try it!
2. My family use Skype a lot it makes easy to see them and talk. I can see the benefit of Skype for teachers and students by visiting each other to carry on verbal conversations with other students in different schools here in Houston or across the USA. Also, it will be nice to use it when a student moves away to a different town during the school year to keep contact with him and his new class.
I’m thinking also that it would be great to use with parents as a new way of communicating.
What a great idea about keeping in touch with students who move and developing new relationships with other classrooms - kind of like "Skype pen-pals!"
