"Great Skype Batman!"

So Little Miss Nelly introduced me to Skype life the other day. At first, we skyped by type, but I said, "Hey, I bought this microphone to be able to skype, what do I do to hear you?" So she educated me. Nelly is a whiz at this. She skypes to family out of the country. At first, we discussed how difficult it was to find time to work on our unit plan with work and other classes homework too. Then I said, hey! Where is your unit plan, I'd like to see it. So she sent it to me on skype. I didn't know you could do that! She told me that on some computers you can also see the other person. We didn't try that though. I don't think my computer has a visual thingy on it. If a sick or special needs student couldn't physically come to school, with a webcam and Skype, they could still participate visually and verbally with other students or the teacher. Also, if the teacher set it up, the students could possibly skype with students in another country. Neato! Technology, wow!
