Tool #9: Jing & Skype

Jing is a good tool to use to enhance online conversations. Students can use the communication tool for research project and other assignment help from home within each other. By sharing information on Jing it is possible to complete a project though this method of communication. Skype is a really handy tool, even better than phone conversations. Of course, it requires a camera but it is worth the expense if making effective use of it. While in the school the teachers can set up buddies in other classes or schools to enhance learning. This will serve like a pen pal. The teacher will have to check rules and regulations with this as well as inform students about online safety. Students need to know what type of information never to share. Teachers should also make it clear to only communicate with people that they are sure to know.
