I am interested in using Skype for education... I am curious if anyone has used it, What was your experience? Can you share how you use it?

I am curious as to how some of the practitioners here on SimpleK12 might be using it in their classrooms.

Interesting that this post came up. My husband asked about using Skype for one of the classes that he will be teaching soon. Now I am motivated to research this and I will share what I find out.

I have Skype with an author Wanda Richards. We were reading her novel and then she read to the kids. She read to the students. Students wrote letters to her and she replied. She came to visit the kids at the school. It was a surprised for them. It was exciting!

Check this site of Microsoft, I hope it will help you!

I use Skype as a Reading and Writing tutor. However, this is not connected to my school. It is a invaluable tool!

I will check it out it zoom thanks.
