using skype in the classroom

I think skype is a good tool to be used in the classroom, because it can be used to allow students to interact with students from other classrooms and even other schools. It can be used to show how students in other classrooms work and to have students work together on projects and assignments. It allows students to have insight on what other students are doing in their classroom. It is also a great way for students to keep in touch with other students and learn how to work in groups. It can be used like a pen pal, it allows students to see face to face and it also helps them become more technologically advanced. I think skype is a good tool for all classrooms, and I wish I could have used something like this in my classes. I think it is good for all grade levels.
