Taking Students Where No School Bus Can Go -- THE Journal - 0 views

  •  
    If you are interested in using skype in the classroom, this may be a great article to check out! The author does a great job of taking you through her first few attempts and what worked and what didn't. She uses it to have her students learn more about Antarctica but the uses for this are truly endless! We have a problem with our foreign language students getting a chance to practice with a native speaker. This may be a great idea to connect our school with a school in France or Spain.

    I like how this resource provides concrete examples of how to use Twitter and RSS feeds in education. I like the question that is posed..Is being connected, cheating? It raises some very good discussion points.
  •  
    Great article. It probably is a little too much on the practical side for the first assignment but the examples are great and really useful.
  •  
    I think that having students blog can be a great tool in allowing them to express what they've learned and to connect them to others around the world. Thanks for contributing the paper. I would agree with Richard Krause that it does seem more about application than theory.
