Skype allows teachers in remote locations to teach students and bring education to those who may not otherwise have access. It can help solve the problem of teachers not wanting to teach in certain undesirable locations by allowing them to teach remotely. Skype also benefits special needs students by allowing them to feel more included and part of the classroom experience even if they cannot be there in person. Additionally, many schools are using Skype to connect with authors and other classes for book discussions, helping students better understand texts.

Kerry networking
The document argues that schools should not block social networking sites because some can be used for engaged learning by students. It suggests that social networks excite students about lessons and enable global collaboration, skills needed for future jobs. Teachers could use networks like Skype to arrange international debates between students. By blocking these sites, schools are preventing information from flowing into the classroom and missing opportunities for new forms of learning.
Kerry networking
The document argues that schools should not block social networking sites because some can be used for engaged learning by students. It suggests that blocking sites that excite and engage students in lessons is counterproductive for teachers who want engaged students. It asks schools to reconsider what engaged learning means and whether social networks like Skype could work for classroom lessons, as demonstrated by some students, and enable global collaboration. The document questions why schools would block tools they don't understand could be used for debates, opinions, and finding out what's happening in the world, when such skills are needed for future jobs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling.
