SKYPE in the classroom

Hi Educators!

Have you ever used SKYPE in you classroom? There are many great and easy ways to use it if you haven't! Here are a couple...

1. SKYPE with an author (A lot of authors are willing to do this, just email them!) Some authors will do it for free and some charge a small fee.

2. Mystery SKYPE: Have a classroom or person Skype your class from another state or another country and your kids have to guess where they are by asking 10 questions about geography, natural resources, latitude and longitude lines, etc. etc. What a fun way for you kids to practice geography!!

3. Practice a Language: You can have kids SKYPE with a native speaker for whatever language you teach!
