By Kristen Hicks, Edudemic

The old adage that “you get what you pay for” seems increasingly outdated in the age of free technologies that provide real value.

You’re probably already familiar with Skype; the free service for calls and chat has become ubiquitous in recent years. It’s revolutionized how people around the world communicate with each other. Friends and families living far away now have an easy, affordable way to communicate. Businesses have used it to increase the possibilities of remote work and collaboration between offices. And teachers have started to explore the opportunities it brings to education as well.
