Imagine collaborating with other classes, no matter where they are in the world or having an author read a few pages from his latest book. You can do both of these and lots more with Skype in the Classroom! Skype is a free communication software that allows you to make calls, instant message and video conference online.
Start a penpal group with another class, have an author drop in for a visit, invite a guest speaker into your room, discuss a novel with a class halfway across the world, take a field trip, or practice a language face-to-face!
Browse the Skype in the Classroom website for more ideas on how to bring this technology into the classroom.
