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

I have recently been informed about Skype for education and I am wanting to try it in my classroom. I too wonder what others experiences are like.

Skype is a telecommunications application software product that specializes in providing video chat and voice calls between computers.

Our tech person set it up for our students with an author of a book and it went well. The students had read the book prior to speaking with the author so their questions would not be repeated.

I have several friends that have used Skype for an interview process.

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!
