Well I love Skype. I Skype with Jessica all the time. I recently Skyped with Robbye to get a better understanding of what to do for my Wiki page. She was able to troubleshoot me through the mess I made. Jessica and I use skype to make sure that we are keeping up with all of our assignments. I believe if used correctly skype is a great educational tool. Not only is it free for students to use, it will not tie up their parents phone line when they need help with homework. They can skype their friends.
Minding Myspace
This school in California came up with a brilliant way to allow students to have myspace pages and emails but the school monitors the activity on these pages. The school I am sure is eating extreme cost for this venture but I am also sure that it is well worth it. Now the students have access to these programs with parents permission. This also allows them the opportunity to share and collaborate with fellow students without being face to face. If a school system has the funds to support such a task I think it would be a great thing to do.
