Tool # 9: Sharing Information Through Jin and Skipe

I have been exposed to Skipe, since most of my friends and family are far away. Skipe is a great way to communicate with people that are far away at a lower cost (other countries). You can also use a video camera and you are talking live. It is a great idea for the students to communicate with other students that are not just in the same City, but different State and even Country. Adding Jing to it, makes it very complete because you are not just talking live, but you can also capture something that you might be working on your computer and you need the other person to see while discussing it over voice. Once again you don't have to rely on e-mails going back and ford. You can let the other person know what you are talking about right there. Teachers can help students over the internet and can also communicate with other teachers to work in a project.
