on skype

We use Skype on a regular basis - as a whole class or the kids use their individual accounts.

We might skype in experts to discuss such things as:
1. how to build a good catapult  :)
2. best uses of twitter
3. what colleges are doing
4. what life in another country is like
5. help with math problems/projects
6. how we can help kids in need

Or for the kids to talk to their peers
1. within our school
2. outside of our school
3. in other states/countries

I use the chat personally daily to talk to colleagues from around the world and to talk to my students...

We've even used it to talk to others in the building...

We're hoping/planning to record a song with some of our CO musicians and musicians from Croatia and Uganda next semester... via the inspiration of Playing for Change.
                                                           take a listen...  Stand by Me

maybe more...? add Istanbul?..yay






 hey @lasic - this is what we're doing - love it...
