If so, that would cut costs down on travel. Do you think the cost of travel vs. the cost of technology would have a positive impact on low income schools? ]]> 2018-11-17 00:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/skizzle1013/toeg5be0vg7d/wish/305485791 Response wewilhelmi1 https://padlet.com/skizzle1013/toeg5be0vg7d/wish/305611513 Many schools already have the technology needed to Skype or Zoom so I would think it would be cost efficient. I do think that it would be nice for students to have the opportunity to do live debates on locations but the use of video technology can give students more opportunities to engage with other students and practice more. Due to transportation regulations and cost, I can see how this could greatly benefit low income schools. ]]> 2018-11-18 04:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/skizzle1013/toeg5be0vg7d/wish/305611513 Although this type of technology is probably done in a lot of schools, it is an excellent source of using media technology for further learning. jcmayes https://padlet.com/skizzle1013/toeg5be0vg7d/wish/305618353 2018-11-18 07:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/skizzle1013/toeg5be0vg7d/wish/305618353
