Video Chat
I've participated in chats over Skype which seems to be a pretty popular form of video chat. I didn't have any difficulties with it but maybe that is because I've only done it a few times. My family used to communicate with my grandparents using Skype when they were on a mission and I thought it was wonderful because they could still see us grow up while they were gone for three years. If we didn't have Skype I think they would have missed out on a lot.
I think technology is so amazing. We can be half way around the world but see our friends and family on a screen right in front of us. My experiences with video chat have been successful and fun.
Synchronous video can be used in teaching in many ways. Having a guest speaker come to your classroom could cost quite a bit but with synchronous video, you get all the important information but don't have to pay for their travel and stay. Brilliant!
