Kim Cofino suggested using YackPack for a project that she's initiating here, so I checked it out and made a group for the Global Education Collaborative. Email me if you'd like to join. It's a tool where you can leave voice messages for group members. I haven't quite gotten the hang of it, as I can't seem to find an exchange that was posted earlier to day by Kim and Silvia in FL, but hopefully, I'll figure it out!
I'm going to begin using Yackpack with my second grade students this week. I think it's truly the best for students whose time zones restrict them from tools like Skype. I'll keep you posted on our successes. I'd love to join your Yack!
Greetings Lucy - great to be back. I have been swamped setting up new servers and computers for the new school year, job done (for now) - so I can return to what I really love, using them! Count me in, please.
