Tool 9

I am going to find a way to use Skype and possibly a screencast in my classrom this year. I just bought a $200 video camera for my computer that has great resolution. I have a friend that just moved to China to teach Western culture to elementary aged kids and he plans on doing the same thing. I know that because of the time difference we will not be able to do any live chatting, but we can record messages and send them to him. I think that it is pretty cool and I believe that my students will also enjoy it.
