Skype

Skype is a really cool tool i never knew about until the other day in class. I am a very visual person and i know it is hard for me to understand people sometimes over the phone. I like that you can talk using webcams and microphones, it is like meeting someone in person with out having to go far. People can do projects together and show each other what they are doing through skype. I also like that it is free it used to be so expensive to do stuff like this because when web cameras and microphones were new they were so expensive. Now that it is becoming so popular it is much less expensive and so easy to set up. It is a great way to be able to have children work together in groups outside of school especially young children because they can not drive to get to eachother. Teachers just need to be careful with online predators since skype can allow anyone to access you.
