On the eighth day of Christmas

my teacher sent to me
Eight Skypers skyping,
Seven geese a-honking,
Six tags a-tagging,
Five jubilant learners,
Four annual forums,
Three blogging tools,
Two thoughts inspiring,
And a joyful network for learning.


Skype is the internet based phone service that provides for free phone calls from computer to computer. When a group is located across as diverse an area as current members of the Joyful Jubilant Learning blog cover, this service allows for good communications at a really reasonable price (i.e. "free").

"Free" because if your system is not already equipped with a microphone, there may be a purchase involved to become fully enabled. You can also use a web cam to share live video during your phone call.
