Skype

I have only used skype a few times while at my parents house but I thought it was awesome. I called my sister in Hawaii using skype and was able to talk to her and see my nephew. Skype could also be used for teaching. It could potentially help improve class participation and collaboration. This is kind of a stretch but it could even be used for virtual field trips, which would not be near as fun as a real field trip. Still I think skype is a really cool technology.
