Jing seems like a pretty cool service. It is a great way to upload pictures to blogs without worrying about the size or format of the file. Also, because the file is saved to an online database, it doesn't take a long time to load pages that have the photos/videos. Kids could use Jing when doing research projects, field trips reports, and when adding to the class blog.
Skype is also pretty cool. I think it would be awesome to use Skype to interview community helpers &/leaders when studying them in Social Studies.
However, it would be supercool to interview published authors! Readers, do you think authors of children's literature would be willing to Skype with a class of cute 1st graders? Eric Carle, Mo Willems, Jeff Kinney, or Cynthia Rylant, if you're reading this, what do you think? Would you be willing to Skype with a bunch of adoring teacup humans that love reading your books over and over again?
