Today, I played with Skype on both my laptop and my iPod touch. While I am not able to video conference (hope to try that tomorrow if I can get Skype loaded at home tonight on a MacBook), I had fun using the Chat feature. I think we will recommend for chatting that students use Skype. It was easy to invite friends and easy to use. I think they will like it.
I also liked the link to the 50 ways to use Skype in the classroom blog. I also tried to visit some of the links off of the page but they are currently blocked (that new filter system is really causing havoc today). However, I feel certain in a few weeks it will be open and I can learn more. I cannot wait to use it with teachers in classrooms!
