Skype for the classroom and beyond
Skype allows you to make audio and video calls, share files, and chat with anyone you add as a contact. You can use Skype to collaborate, communicate, and connect with people locally, nationally, and internationally.
There are a multitude of ways to use Skype in educational contexts, with the following examples being just a few:
- bringing Guest Speakers into the class from pretty much anywhere
- using Skype for online office hours / consultations
- cultural sharing between classes in different countries
