Skype Assignment

I installed Skype without incident and found it to be fairly easy to use! What a cool tool! If anything ever happened to my cell phone, this would be definitely worth having. Until that time, the cell is definitely my phone of preference! I don’t know of anyone else using Skype – other than peers also using it for this class.

Skype would be a great tool if students were to make calls to another school in a different state. Club or Student Council officers could use this to get tips and ideas from each other. This could introduce them to networking – something that will be important to them in their post high school future!

The video aspect would be fabulous for students to have that “visual” aspect of talking to someone in another state. If students were exchanging ideas, they could use the camera to actually show the product to the calling student[s].

Of course, adult supervision should always be first and foremost any time students are making calls on behalf of a class project. There are always those problem children or problem adults who think the rules of etiquette don’t apply to them!!
