Skype Ideas

[Blog]

One of the main ideas of connectivism is that we learn through our connections with others. On your blog, post your reflection on your experience connecting with another educator using Skype. How you might use Skype in the future to either connect with other teachers or to help your students connect? What do you hope to gain by using this technology?

Comment on at least one of your classmates’ blogs.
