QuickCast is another option to add to your toolbox to access when you need to create a short instructional video for your students or colleagues. Creating screencasts can be a good way for students to practice giving clear and direct presentations of information.

Generalizations that label these schools as elitist, tradition-bound and homogenous probably aren't based on a recent first-hand look.

A Skype call with a school far away may represent good exposure to different places and cultures, but without integrating it into a learning plan, it's more of a memory than a skill-building endeavor, and divvying up topics for a group presentation fall short of collaboration if problems aren't being solved together.
