Kids like to work with things that are interactive - video games, itouch, etc. These two tools, Jing & Skype, provide an amazing platform for collaborative learning. They appear to be tailor-made for WAIS. With these tools we can become all the more international in outreach. Our kids can work collaboratively with kids in the other parts of the globe. It is awesome!
These tools can be developed to offer an active interaction among pupils and educator, supporting an effective learning as well as developing the four main skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
I hope that someday, we will find ways to interface them with activeboards so that educators and students can open and see the same lessons delivered on the activeboard. They can point out specific areas, write notes, highlight texts, and erase annotations as they were together in a presential classroom.
