Jing I believe would go hand in hand with the other applications we have used such as, imovie or pictures. It really puts a 3-D image to the kids learning.
Skype is something I have never used before but hae heard so much about. I am very interested and excited to bring this into my classroom. Since the population is so diverse in Spring Branch I believe it would be an awesome opportunity to coordinate with a school around the world and discuss a topic the kids have in common to show the differences and similarities. They can then build a relatinship which offers them the opportunity to ask more indepth questions.
I facilitated a couple of Skype sessions last year with our 3rd grade bilingual class and another similar class at Terrace Elementary to discuss Bluebonnet books we had read. The kids loved it. I'd be happy to collaborate with you on ideas for Skyping with your class next year.
