Skype Interview

Here is an interview with my friend Sarah about how she uses technology in her classroom. She is a Special Ed. Language arts teacher, so she loves some of the ways tech allows her to engage students with different learning styles or learning disabilities. She also talks about the issues her class faced with sharing information; they couldn't handle a wiki. She shares about that experience and what she decided to do instead.




About Skype in general, I think it's great! I look forward to using it a lot in my Social Studies classrooms to talk to students around the globe. Right now I use it to talk to my friends in Malawi, Africa. I have also recently been enjoying google video chat. It's super easy, and the video quality and speed are impressive, even across the Atlantic! This is one of the technologies which is most appealing and accessible to me.

And here is the link for the i talk, the recorder she uses to connect to ipods for her dyslexic students in particular.
