Skype is amazing software that could be used in the classroom for social learning. Skyping to other classrooms around the world would provide learners with the opportunity to teach one another and give them another students perspective. However, setting it up and implementing it for educational purposes can seem overwhelming. As long as it is explained simply it can be very versatile and since it is free it can be used by anyone with an email address.  



As stated in previous blogs google docs are user friendly and yet again simple for utilizing in the classroom. With the opportunity for the students to change the doc and work with one another with out having to meet they can get more work done. As an educator I like the fact that you can make a variety of different documents that will work best for your students. Learners with special needs google docs can be used to keep tract of assignments and the educator can check to ensure progress from any computer.
