It is common knowledge that we are living in the ‘information age’ where technology and the use of technology is second nature. Skype is seen to be one of the most effective forms of educating students globally as you communicate with the rest of the world whilst staying in your classroom. This source is seen to be effective for both teachers and students as it provides a range of topics and resources for teachers to choose from. Krause, Bochner, and Duchesne (2001) declare that “ the Internet is a highly visual medium, using combinations of colourful text, icons , video and graphics in ways that traditional paper based texts do not. Using Skype in the classroom provides students with the opportunity to learn about other people’s cultures, language and school communities.
A teaching idea that can be incorporated using this source includes selecting a topic for example, comparing the range of technology in their classrooms, and selecting another school around the globe that’s also in Stage 2 who is also interested in this topic. Have students present and discuss the range of different technologies found around the classroom such as a computer, smart board and Ipad and discuss how technology has affected their learning (more fun, engaging). Create a classroom discussion about how the students felt discussing their ideas over the Internet and if this was possible 50 years ago? Then have students express how people had to communicate (50 years ago) with each other (letter writing). The importance of discussion is seen not only for the students but also for the teacher as it is seen as a way of assessing the student’s knowledge. Following from this, have them write a letter to a student and allow them to explain the effect technology has had in terms of communication.
This resource is also seen as being effective for teachers as they are able to communicate with other teachers, sharing ideas and resources as well as staying in contact with parents. Skype in the classroom solves that challenge by letting a teacher specify what grade or subject they will be teaching, and what kinds of projects they’re interested in working on together. It also solves challenges with people in the work force who need to communicate with others around the world making it more visible and effective.
