I've recently bought a couple of cheap webcams at $50 each. I've been startled by the interest that this simple gadget has created and the fun and learning that have come out of them. Coupled with a SKYPE connection I can be in my office but in touch with the learning around the school. The pupils love to Skype in to me and show me their work through the fantastic quality of the webcams. Impromptu learnng situations, a teacher or pupil success or merely a friendly hello from the Principal on a Monday morning have been received with great enthusiasm. This week I had a pupil in my office for a Milo as a reward. We Skyped back to his class to share the moment with them - we all feel more connected. And just $50.
