In this blog post I will be discussing how skype is a great way for students to communicate with other students as well as with their teachers. It can also be a great tool for teachers communicating with other teachers about certain shared topics, lessons, and how to best effectively teach their students in their classroom. Skype is a great way for students to work on joint projects with their peers in school as well as students from all around the world on a global activity or project. Students can connect from anywhere that they have internet access at any time they want to connect. They can be skyping while working on a SDG project, playing Minecraft together, or doing online computer games such as math with sumdog.com or Abcya. The possibilities are endless using skype so students can communicate with one another, and can be a great way for students who aren’t the best at communicating in person to begin a relationship with other students in their class. As well as connect them with students of similar interests from around the world and they can work together as well as begin a quality long lasting relationship with one another online. Teachers can also join these skype rooms and make sure that these students are working together properly and that everyone’s input is involved in the project that they are completing. They can also aid the students with any questions or help that they may need while working on the project so teachers know that their students are doing quality work and are on the right track. Skype can be a great way for students to build quality working relationships with all their peers even if it is not face to face. In this new digital age people are using skype and zoom much more to communicate and work on projects together so students will need to learn how to use these communication features online properly. It is also very fun and interactive for the students as they can be at home working with their peers enjoying the work they are doing while also being comfortable at home or wherever they are learning and working from.

I completely agree that skype is a great way for students to communicate with other students as well as with their teachers. I agree that it can also be a great tool for teachers communicating with other teachers about certain shared topics, lessons, and how to best effectively teach their students in their classroom. Skype is also a great way for students to work on joint projects with their peers in school as well as students from all around the world on a global activity or project. Students can defiantly connect from anywhere that they have internet access at any time they want to connect. Communication today is like no other and as future teachers we should be extremely grateful and know how powerful these tools are! I enjoyed reading your blog, it was greatly written!!
I think Skype is a great tool to use for creating projects with other students! Thank you for sharing this important insight on why we should incorporate this tool in other classrooms. It will allow people to connect on a different level and will allow better communication for students. This resource could also be used for online classes as well. Thank you again for your insight on Skype!
