Skype is a free and easy way for students and teachers, to open up their classrooms to other classrooms around the world. As a language teacher, I can meet other teachers and students who strive to learn a 2nd or 3rd language. Skype can also be used in other classroom subject areas for educational purposes.=====

In both my French Immersion and Spanish classes, when technology is used, it creates an environment where students are more engaged in the learning process. By using different types of technology (and many sneaky innovative ways to get them to be creative) it has led to improved learning and teaching. =====

Three students of mine have completely come out of their shells while using technology. Those students, who have been shy to do presentations in front of the class, have blossomed when they have had the opportunity to present by Movie Maker, U tube and Glogster. =====
