Abstract
Skype: In communicating with educators around the world, it seems almost too easy to engage in rich conversations for free, courtesy of Skype. Although there are many other Internet-based communication tools such as Google Video Chat, Adobe Connect, iChat, and DimDim, the recent addition of screen-sharing to Skype, makes it a very popular tool for connecting! Skype is a free download application that you can use immediately to connect with other Skype users (free), desktop or cell phones (small fee).
