Other  (communications)

Besides any social media websites that you can find by clicking on google, we have selected a few video calling apps that we think are great. We have chosen a few so that you have more options if the person you want to talk to hasn’t downloaded a certain app. 

  • Skype- video chat with anyone in the world over skype
  • Google Meet- free video chats for anyone with a google account

 

The Internet 

Once you’ve looked through all of these apps, there are still millions of educational resources on the internet. 

Here are some online learning sites that we recommend:

GOOGLE: Try asking google anything. For example, you could ask about what the weather forecast is tomorrow. You could also search for information to help with your studies or for job listings or to look for pictures of people or places you have heard about.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook, instagram, twitter and linkedin are great places to connect with people around the world, why not create an account. 

YOUTUBE: Youtube is a great source of entertainment, as well as education. You can find tutorials on just about anything, from soap making to molecular biology. Check out the channels of some of our partners:
