Sclipo helps you teach, learn, share and connect online with your students and fellow teachers. Create your own web academy and teach your subject or expertise. These features are free when you join the site. You can upgrade for a small fee and get paid for your courses and teaching events. With the courses you publish, this can be done online and face -2-face. As and educator this tool helps to lead webinars and meetings for 100 or more people. Create an online library in Sclipo to store your videos, audios, and images. If planning an educational training event or conference these events can also be streamed live.
Using this Web 2.0 tool allows you to connect with others in your field by creating a member profile. I can see all the wonderful possibilities of this tool especially the fact that it is free. I do plan on using the whiteboard with this tool and teaching with a webcam. These are skills that I have not tried and we are coming to that time in this hour and 21st century learning. As an educator I believe it is my responsibility to try out this technology and its many uses and to provide feedback to its creators, if it has helped with my instruction or did not improve students abilities in learning.
This is similar to sitting in a classroom except you can teach and record your lesson for a future broadcast to your students. You could be absent and this file or video could be pulled to present to your students for instruction. That is why I believe this tool is of great interest to my learning environment.
