Being that I am originally from Scotland and my wife is from Chicago, it has been the only way for people to keep in contact and see our daughters. WE are unable to take premature babies from the home or have many visitors for some time and without the use of Skype people would only be able to see pictures. <br /><br />As a teacher it is possible for me to contact members of the community that I work in and ask their help in advising and being involved with the future community leaders. For those unable to leave work or visit the school, skype is a way to contact and have a chat with them. Involvement is a massive part of any child's progress at school and any medium that provides this is great. <br /><br />And best of all.....It's free.....Jim Fawcetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296062855976756222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991736177330435297.post-88943146671589579512010-04-16T20:42:43.961-05:002010-04-16T20:42:43.961-05:00Another great way to use Skype is to bring the out...Another great way to use Skype is to bring the outside world into your classroom for your students. You're only limited in this area by your (and your students') creativity. Think authors, outside experts, people in different professions, other teachers' students and classrooms, etc.Scott McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368435018346090846noreply@blogger.com
