After reading about these two tools, I was pleasantly surprised on the variety of things you can do with them, not only for educational purposes but for personal use as well! I thought thatSkype was only used to make free phone calls to another person but I can see that I can actually help to work with colleagues, and for our students to share insights with peers around the world!
Jing can help educators to capturing images, videos, etc, that we may use them again and again as many time as we need to explain or review concepts with our children and share them in online conversation! It is very helpful to share all kinds of videos. It can help us to collaborate with each other as colleagues when working on a project together without having to meet.
Skype is a very useful tool too! Teachers and students can use it with equal benefit. Using Skype, you can help you talk to your colleagues, classmates and to friends across the world! The students can learn from the customs in other parts of the world by chatting with peers over the globe…and fro free! I can see that these tools will definitely empower our students!
