Jing- I can see how Jing would be very helpful. It could be used in the classroom when explaining stations to my class. I'm thinking it will be enough to show this Jing video instead of repeating instructions. It seems that kids could even record themselves working on a specific problem, giving a report, or even narrating a story.
Skype- This seems it would help share information online. Students would be able to chat with kids from other schools and even states. I love the idea of possibly meeting authors and a chance to share our love for books.
I'm working on lining up some Skype author visits through the library for next year. It can be a big money saver because we don't have to pay for the author's travel expenses.
