This is a cool website and immediately caught my eye when I saw the three types of video conferencing. These three are skype, google handout, and facetime. I am familar with skype and it is both, free and paid service. It can be used with multiple devices, such as computers, cell phones, and tablets. The benefit of using skype is that you can invite up to 25 people on a conference. Great for training visual learners because you can share screens with others. 


 I have no experience with google handout, but will acquaint myself to it in the near future. It works on all computers through a google account, such as gmail and is also available as an app via apple/android. Again, users can share desktop, as well as, call and video chat with up to 10 people for free.Facetime only works with apple users and only allows one on one conferences. Great for a single project that is small.

Dr. Ray offers ideas for teaching using infographics from resources such as the Library of Congress.Additionally, there are other resources like lesson plans, presentations, and primary sources. Many professional development opportunities are available,too.
