Learning about Skype in the Classroom from ISTE 2015 | @MicrosoftEDU
This year at the ISTE conference, I had the privilege of working with the Skype team. I have been a big fan of Skype for several years and if you are a podcaster, it is a GREAT platform to use when bringing your guests on to your show. This year, Michael Soskil, a Microsoft Innovative Educator shared with me some of the great new features of Skype and demonstrated how he is using video conferencing in his classroom.
