Skyping from the classroom....
There are so many ways Skype can be used from your classroom, here are just a few ideas; Pen-Pals, Steve Spangler Science, Storytelling with Grandma, or another relative from home, Authors “visits”, Show and Tell, Students sick at home for long periods of time.
In addition to the actual Skype call, you can RECORD your calls so they can be used at a later time, or with another class. There are a few programs out there that will allow you to do this but this one has been recommended by another school;
Ecamm Call Recorder [Mac] seamlessly gives you recording controls in Skype. It comes with an automatic recording feature like MP3 Skype Recorder. After each recording the files are saved into a folder on your Mac, with the callers name and date. Other features it boasts:
- Record Video Calls with Picture-in-Picture
