Skype Announces Free Group Video Calling for Teachers
The ability for classrooms to beam in authors, subject experts, and fellow students from around the world has been one of the great advantages afforded by Skype. Commonly used by librarians and other K–12 educators to provide real-time engagement for their students, the service just got better. As of today, existing members of Skype in the classroom or new registrants can use Skype’s Group Video Calling free of charge.
A feature previously available only to paid Skype Premium subscribers, Group Video Calling allows users to connect via Webcam with up to 10 parties. Skype’s blog post details instructions for signing up for free video calling. (Authentication may take 48 hours)
Launched in March 2011, Skype in the classroom offers searchable “lessons,” which enable educators worldwide to connect with each other around various subjects. “My sixth graders from Philadelphia are seven chapters into The Watsons Go to Birmingham,” reads one lesson, for example. “Is your class also reading it? If so, lets plan an activity of some sort. Maybe a book discussion.”

The Teacher’s Quick Guide To Education Technology
See on Scoop.it - Education Futures
Today 70% of children between the ages of 2-5 can operate a computer mouse, but only 11% of them can tie their own shoes. At the start of the 21st century only half of all school classrooms had Internet access, compared to 98% today.
The proliferation and sheer breadth of accessibility that the Internet offers has in many ways redefined the process of “growing up” — this graphic explores this redefinition and provides insight into not just how we learn stuff, but also what we learn from a young age now that we have computers.

Educational Technology in Practice
See on Scoop.it - Education Futures
This book serves as a platform for educational technology researchers, practitioners and students to share experiences and best practices in both developing and developed contexts. Throughout the book, various challenges are addressed and educational technology tools and strategies are subsequently employed in an effort to tackle the issues. The book also highlights successes and accomplishments in areas and contexts in which educational technology is being harnessed, including reaching more learners, providing more affordable options, and building capacity.
Because of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of the field and the cases, this book is useful not only in educational technology, but also in other fields. A “Facilitator Guide” is provided for each chapter for educators to use with their learners.

‘They’ve got more choice!’: Technology, social media, the teacher and the higher education learner of today
See on Scoop.it - Education Futures
“If higher education does not meet the needs of the next generation, then the next generation will go elsewhere for their knowledge. They will learn, authenticate and use it themselves, within their social networks and communities created through and on social media. They will find an authority outside the academy, or they will find or start an academy that will serve their needs. Their own practice will vindicate and realise the learning.”
