Skype
I was doing some online research about using Skype in the classroom and, at the same time, trying to think of ways to tie biology/microbiology into the picture when I found some inspiration! Here is a blog by a biology professor who uses Skype to help supplement his online labs: http://onlinescienceeducatorbylabpaq.com/2012/04/06/using-skype-as-a-tool-to-teach-online-science-labpaq-laboratories/ I really like his idea to use Skype to bring in guest speakers.

When I first think about using Skype or similar technologies in the classroom, this is actually the first thing that comes to mind. Bringing in speakers and lecturers when the experts you want/need are far away is a great use of technology. Can anyone think of other uses of Skype technology in the classroom?
