Sharing information through Jing and Skype, is a great tool that our students can start learning to use, probably by the end of the school year at 1st grade. Once the students learn how to navigate throught the internet and learn how they can obtain information and images is important that they learn how to share the informations and images.
Skype is great program where students can learn how to chat and how to make a phone call through the computer at any country of the world. I personally use this program to communicate with my mom. She can see me with no problem and communicate, is great! You probably heard about the new iphone 4 which has the skype program included in it and people can communicate each other using that program without going over the minutes. I remember in the past how people talked about how in the future you were going to be able to see the person when communicating with them over the phone. I guess the future is now! love Skype!
Jing is a great website to share information with other people. Jing has the same tools we all have at the activ-board, you can take videos of what your doing in the computer if you want to explain how to do something or you can share any image your watching in the computer with someone just by cropping the image and copying the link with whoever you want to share. I love the fact that any video you create a Jing can be upload at youtube withou the need of transforming a video to mp3.
Excellent new Tool!
