Podcast #8 Skype in the Classroom

I recorded this workshop last month when our school district held its first in-district professional development conferences.  I think the conference was very successful.  I hope we do this again next year.

This workshop was called “Using Skype in the Classroom.”  It was presented by Jason Weaver, a middle school social studies teacher and eMINTS trainer in the Joplin School district.

There was time for teachers to work during the workshop, which I edited out.

Here are is his agenda with links and our collaborative class notes on Etherpad.
