Today, besides learning to do an audio (with help !), I applied what we have learned in a very personal way, and I was convinced by one of our instructors to add this to my blog.
During my lunchtime, the nurses in a skilled care center where my mom is living, SKYPED me for a medical update. It was their first time to use SKYPE and they were rather jazzed! Over 2,000 miles away, I could use what I've learned to help them get the video running and we moved into the future. I think it is very progressive of them to be using this technology in a nursing home! I'm sharing this with you, as it may spark an idea or two for you EDU 255ers.

Skype is the technology that has changed my life the most (Right behind are Mikogo, Facebook, and YouTube). I love the distant family connections, the ability to "hangout" with people via video, and calling people like my friend in Korea - which I would probably rarely-if-ever do with a telephone.
ReplyDeleteWow Amy! That story is a great story to share with others. Now, all the nurses have to do is get your Mom in front of the camera. Right? Why not?
