Screencasts can benefit students by giving them detailed instructions for a project. The student can review the screencast many times, and the parent could also view the screencast. Jing can give more support to a student (a screencast could be a mini tutorial that the student can view at a time suitable for him/her). Perhaps the teacher could review a math concept for a homework assignment.
I might use Skype to assist a student with a social studies project. An example would be an assignment about a foreign country. By interviewing a person via Skype, the student would have an opportunity to do research in a new, interesting, and fun manner. I think utilizing Skype for this project would help the student appreciate another culture much more than just reading about it.
