    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.

    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!

  • , and it provides a safe learning environment that is constantly monitored by teachers and administrators. It also provides teachers and students with specific ePals email so students do not need school or personal email addresses. The ePals email is part of the login system, can be fully monitored at all times by the teacher, and is how students and teachers communicate with their fellow ePals.
