I think Jing is another great research tool for students to collaborate in the classroom. This is an easy tool for students to use when researching, and can be used both in and outside of school. It can also be used in the classroom for giving specific directions or even reteaching concepts. Jing could also be used for workstations, or small group work that requires students to use different internet tools.
I have always liked the concept of extending student learning to those outside the classroom. Since it is difficult to get visitors at school, Skype is a great tool to broaden student's horizons and expand their learning by allowing them to communicate with people outside of the classroom. Whether it may be a class pen pal, talking to professionals that specialize in topics we may be studying, or communicating with each other outside of school, Skype is a great way to connect our classrooms with the real world.
