11.5- thing #3
Skype definitely has some possibilities in the classroom depending on the time you have available to set up, model, and practice with students. I can see it used across the curriculum: chatting with authors (reading/writing), book chats with the librarian or other classes, mathematical discussions where groups solve the same problem but then discuss the different strategies used, interviews for social studies, sharing data or performing and sharing labs with other classes.

I have never used Skype, but I can see how it would be beneficial in the classroom to have guest speakers from anywhere "visit" the classroom without traveling or doing a background check for the district.
