For this week's assignment, I did a video chat with my sister in NYC. It was a little confusing to get started but using skype, it went pretty smoothly. The delay was a little frustrating and sometimes I could hear her voice before I saw the picture but overall, it was a good experience. I think I could use this in the classroom by having conference calls with busy parents who aren't able to come into the school. The visual affect adds a lot more to the experience and I think the parents would enjoy seeing their student's teacher rather than just speak with them. This may also be a good way to keep in touch with other teachers who teach in my same field of education. They could show me the things they're doing rather than just tell me. This may also be helpful if you wanted to have a guest speaker who is far away.
