Skype is such a great tool. I've used it with my family, who are scattered all over - from Vermont, to Massachusetts, to Virginia - especially on the holidays. My husband also uses it for business to talk to people overseas.
I've been wanting to use this in school...to set it up so my kids could talk to kids from another state - or country. I have a sister who teaches in Vermont and my daught teaches in Boston...I need to check with them to see if maybe we could arrange to have a chat.
Especially interesting, would be to have the same grade level show different projects they're working on. It could be like having a pen-pal on your computer. I'm pretty sure other schools would be interested in doing this.
I've not used Jing, but would like to introduce it to my kids if they don't know about it. I think students have such a greater capacity for using this type of technology than I do...I always learn so much from them.
