Being on Skype with a fellow classmate and future teacher was awesome and

very helpful. We discussed several different teaching theories and how we can use
technology to help our students be more organized and creative when it comes to
saving their assignments and collaborating with other students and teachers through
several different website opportunities we can provide for them. By using Skype,
teacher and classrooms can collaborate with other classrooms in order to enrich our
curriculum.
