Tool#9 Sharing Info

the screencast could help my students to use the computer to record image and video that can be watched later. The stage is the screen of a computer that has a camera.
Those videos could contain explanations of concepts made by students, presentations, homework and information that we want to be shared among groups, grades, schools and the world. The same way as a group we can benefit from screencast from other students that want to share theirs in order to exchange knowledge.
Jing then is the tool we need to make this come true.

Skype is a tool that sets the base to have video conferences with Book authors, students that need extra help in school, kids that did not attend school and want to take advantaje of the time to study the lesson at home, also the tool serves the purpose of learning from other students around the world and across the nation what they want to share i.e. book reviews, lessons, complex concepts, etc.
Parent communication with teachers can be enhanced through this tool since documents, pictures, files and other information can be shared literally at the click of a button.The involvement of a parent is important for student success and everybody knows that, therefore the two tools explained in this blog are what most parents who have a lack of time, were waiting for.

My personal Skype account is: karla.urtiz I love the searching for people tool that Skype has, I have found people only by using name or country they live in.
