Thing 15: Things like Skype
A friend introduced me to using Skype before its popularity soared a few years ago. I still use Skype to communicate easily and economically with friends and family. The only downfall of Skype is it is limited to internet connections. Skype uses a lot of memory, too much for smaller hard drives. If monitored appropriately, students can use Skype to communicate with students all over the world. They can transfer files and hold video conferences globally. Comparingly, Live Mind also provides a marketplace where individuals can share their ideas during live learning events.

I also opened an account few years ago. Skype has expanded so much since then, and although it is limited, students can still benefit from it.
ReplyDeletevideo conferences with students from other part of the world is a nice to have classroom activity. But, I agree with you that Skype nowadays getting more resource greedy, and quite a lot make other application stop processing.
