Tool #9 Skype & Jing

1. Screencast: I like the idea of screencast because students can share and get almost instant feedback whether they are sharing inside the school community or with a larger community. It also helps with giving students ownership of their work.

2. Skype: Skype is awesome for building an international community. I like how you can find communities or individuals with similar interests if you don't know anyone on skype at first. I like the idea of using it in the classroom where students talk to other students in other countries or just in other cities. Especially for history, students can see different viewpoints on different historical and current events.
